Przedmioty należące do Antoniego Kasztelana, kpt. piechoty i Marynarki Wojennej RP. W latach 30. kierował polskim kontrwywiadem na Wybrzeżu. W 1939 r. brał udział w obronie Półwyspu Helskiego. Po kapitulacji dostał się do niewoli niemieckiej, a następnie został wydany gestapo.

W grudniu 1942 r. wykonano wyrok przez zgilotynowanie.
