From a friend. The original writer (Stan Clark) apparently has a memorabilia shop in the area.

On January 24 & 25, 2009 there will be a MASSIVE 2 day auction of the MARINE CORPS collection of Paul "Eddie" Miller. Ed and his wife both served in the Marines in the early 1950's and Ed served with the 1stMARDIV in Korea . Many of the items in this auction were Ed's personal items used during his time in Korea .
 
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. There are over 640 cataloged items and several hours of other items. Over 50 different M-1 Garands and hundreds of additional parts, uniforms, photographs, limited edition art prints, 782 and web gear, toys, books, signed items and much. much more. Almost everything in this sale is UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS related. There is NO BUYER'S PREMIUM!
 
Please go to this link and click on the red captions on the right hand side for a complete listing and photos of both day's sales.

The complete listing for both days is also on www.auctionzip.com
I am sending this out because Eddie was a very good friend and a Marine Combat Veteran. I hope you will be able to attend the sale.

50 M1 Garands?

And my wife gives me grief for having only 4 of 'em. 

That'll teach her!   =D
