Photo of a memorial to the Berlin Wall taken in Koblenz in 2008. I saw remains of the wall itself in Berlin in 1992 but those photos are in the loft. Berlin Wall Memorial Koblenz 2008 by Owen posted Nov 9, 2014 at 11:44 AM

My youngest son finished his MBA at an international school near Frankfurt in 2007 and was very enamoured with Berlin. He managed to bring home two large pieces from the wall which he still displays prominently.
We are both of that cynical age! When asked, as I obviously did, he vouched for the authenticity and claims to have done his due diligence. Being much smarter than his father, I suspect he may not have been scammed.
