I have been visiting my parents a lot lately. Both in their 80's, and you never know ...
My dad gave me something rare for display in my new museum/library conversion in my house.
A piece of shrapnel from Pearl Harbor. He was working at Bremerton when they were repairing some of the ships.
He isn't sure which ship it came off of, but thinks it was one of the "battlewagons". Absolutely the coolest thing in my collection (since I sold my WWI 75mm round)
I wanted to post a photo, but I'm having trouble lighting it for a decent shot, as it is dark metal with poor contrast qualities.
I'll post a pic of the whole display when I get the lighting right.
