I've been sorting through an old man's stuff...

So the time came to sort through my dead grandfather's things and holy sh*t did I find a lot of interesting bits. Knives, antiquated watches, silver cutlery, Tsar's treasury bonds and more. My grandparents really don't throw anything out.
It's really fascinating to spend a day in an old man's home and just see what you can find there. Most fascinating thing I discovered is that my grandfather apparently was collecting coins.

Here's some really old 19th century Russian Empire coins (well some of them are, there's this one random coin from 1953):

Deutschen Marks from the Third Reich:

Wartime medals:

I fear if I continue looking I am going to find Nazi gold somewhere around here.

No, I am not Russian, luckily. I do however speak Russian fluently and I did have firsthand experience both with them and their culture. Let's just say that the occupation lasted much-much longer than the times of the Second World War.
