Thanks for all the replies and input, it is fascinating to hear how things worked around the bases and museums regarding these artifacts.

I would suggest that "lost" is not the right word. Perhaps "sold" or "traded" are the correct terms. Perhaps one day when we meet face to face, I can share the stories I have heard. There would seem to be variations to each.
