The pictures seems mostly come from Munn.
Although I not even like Turquoise nor Moonstone this one of my favourite tiara at all in its clear but also refined design. Exeptionell indeed.
The Family died in an air crash near Ostend but the jewels were find back . Which were they ?
Thanks Maridje, these jewels are Impressive. Maybe they got some kind of compensation from the United States government for the stolen goods.

Dave.

SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE – THE HESSE JEWEL HEIST
In November 1945, Jack W. Durant, Kathleen Nash, and David Watson pulled off the Hesse jewel heist, one of the most lucrative wartime thefts in history.
In 1946, they were each court-martialed in Germany on charges including larceny, dereliction of duty, and conduct unbecoming U.S. military officers.
