Subject: Locate a pipe's former owner

I inherited a pipe from my grandfather. He picked it up in Germany in WWII.
I don't know if he stole it from a house or bought it off someone but I'm
fairly sure it was a WWI era pipe.

Anyway, I think whoever is a descendant of the original owner would want to
see it or get it back.

It's not in my possession at this time or I'd give you a detailed
description of it. I am going to my mother's at Christmas and will pick it
up. I am basically wondering if it is possible for some one to help me
locate the owner's descendants.

The pipe is about 16 long and has an ivory bowl with a helmet covering the
bowl (a kaiser helmet with one of those points on top) on the bowl there
are names inscribed, one name is the name of the person the pipe was
presented to, below that their are names inscribed of the soldiers in his
regiment.

When I get the pipe later this month I'll email the names. But, do you
think you could help? I live in California, USA so it would be hard for me
to get much info from Germany.

Anyway, let me know if you can help.

Anthony

[ Perhaps the inscribed names could be used to track it, but it'd be a
_job_.  Can anyone help? -S. ]
