   My Granddad was in the army so they are from all over the world and he's   
   been dead for 30 years   
      
   I personnally have no intrest in them what so ever but I know how much time   
   my dad spent on them and they still look like they're in a right old mess.   
   But I'm not going to just cast them out, but my son is only 3 and I haven't   
   the space or the time to look after them.   
      
   Do you know if there is such a person that could sort them out in order and   
   put a value on the collection, I haven't the time or the patience.
