The artifacts were improperly transferred to the fund in 1952 for $1, the lawsuit said. I Vacco said the state is in danger of losing the collection because the vets have offered it to the federal government Keynon Fitzgerald, president of the fund, disputed the charges.

He said the antiques were obtained legally from the old Seventh Regiment "They know perfectly well it's not theirs," he said, adding that his group has no plans to give the collection away. Fitzgerald produced a 1992 letter in which the attorney general's office said the "military memorabilia found in the armory" was the property of the Seventh Regiment Fund.
