scothunter 12,609 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 They would look even better off that plaque. Maybe in cooperate them into something else.? A gun case, or gun safe. I'm no prick lol but I wouldn't have taken them off the lad if I was going to get shot of them. I'd have told him to hang on to them. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_stig 6,614 Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 if they had any sentimental value to the lad he would`nt of got rid in the first place ... now they belong to him he`s free to do as he likes with them --i`ve kept some of my grandads medals and racing pigeon bits but to be fair if i`d kept everything i`d of had a house full sometimes you`ve just gotta let it go ... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
