(FoxNews) – The last American combat flag from the Vietnam War is being put
up for auction.

War hero Army Col. Chester Bailey McCoid took the large flag with him when
he became the last ground force soldier to leave the South Vietnam port city
of Da Nang on March 29, 1973, a month before the fall of Saigon.

According to the Washington Examiner, the flag is being sold by the Maryland
auctioneer Alexander Historical Auctions. The live and online auction of the
flag and other historic mementos is slated for this week on Tuesday and
Wednesday.

Bill Panagopulos, president of the auction house, called the flag “a historic
relic from a war which still stirs controversy at its very mention.” He expects
the flag to fetch at least $10,000 or as much as $50,000.

(FOXNEWS) – The first letter written onboard the Titanic, penned just hours before
the ship embarked on its doomed maiden voyage, will be sold at a U.K. auction this
month.

The letter was written on April 10 1912 before Titanic set sail from Southampton
for New York. The author, Paul Danby, wrote the note while visiting his wife’s
uncle Adolphe Saalfeld, who was a passenger on the ship.

The Titanic struck an iceberg at 11:40 p.m. ship’s time on April 14 1912 and sank
just over two hours later with the loss of more than 1,500 lives.

The letter, which has a pre-sale estimate of $14,117 to $21,175 will be sold at
auction in Devizes, U.K. on April 23.

(NEWSER) – A ring said to have belonged to Joan of Arc is back in the medieval peasant-turned-warrior’s native France nearly 600 years after she was burned
at the stake. The ring, which had been in England since the 15th century, sold
at auction for more than $400,000 (about 30 times its estimated worth). It was 
purchased by the du Fou foundation, which runs a historical theme park in
western France. The BBC reported the ring arrived home on Friday.
