  1. Oh God I'm ready for the how dare you sell this family artifact comments. It's his item not yours don't cry about it. Some people want to live life to the fullest and others want to be living in the poor House holding on to the past. Also attention losers pawn shops buy items for as cheap as possible and sell it for as much as possible. This is not a Rick or old man thing. This is a every pawn shop in the world thing. If pawn shops gave what you would call Fair offers they'd be out of business. Tell me you have no idea how the business world works without telling me.

  2. Rick sold one of the maps for 10k and kept the other. My original comment got deleted because I posted the link lol. He mentions it in his book "License to Pawn"

    Google WW2 map of Iwo Jima value and it's on the military forum link that comes up.

  3. I think the date the maps were made was before they decided where to land, which is why one map shows designated landing beaches on the other side of the island, with Suribachi on the right.
    Both of the flags raised on Suribachi are preserved at the U.S. Marine Corps Museum at Quantico.
    The museum is shaped like the figures in the famous photo by Joe Rosenthal.
    I had the good fortune of growing up at Quantico, where I knew many Old Breed Marines who fought from Guadalcanal to Okinawa.
    The Japanese were great soldiers. It was incredibly brutal fighting all the way.
    There were a couple of holdouts on Iwo Jima who finally surrendered in the late 40s, but I don't think so in the 50s.
    There were Japanese soldiers on Guam, Indonesia and the Philippines who did not surrender until the 1970s.
