For MvR historians...

I double-checked to be sure, because I couldn't remember, and it's not listed among the Richthofen museum artifacts. I'll ask Lance B or Greg VW or Peter K if they know about its whereabouts or last-known whereabouts.

I had the same hopes about the Museum pieces. Nobody knows what really happened to the stuff. Was it actually "boxed up" and "shipped back to Moscow"? Would Soviets invading Silesia care about pieces of fabric from a previous war, enough so that they'd be "officially" shipped back to Russia? Or would the house just be looted by ordinary invading soldiers, each of whom took whatever was on hand? Or was the lot just thrown away? And did KvR take the victory cups with her when she fled the advancing Soviets, and they are not actually in Russia?
