Let your parents or other relative speak.
You can be sure that your grandfather is getting nachas in olam haba and will be with you in spirit.
Mazel tov!

My FIL was niftar on my sons 10th birthday so his bar mitzvah and the yartzeit were the same day. When he made a siyum for his bo bayom he also learned leuli nishmas his sabba. It was very meaningful.

We did that. It cost almost as much to get them checked and repaired as it would have done to buy a new set. The only probkem is that there are often a number of children named after the same person, and only one of them can have his tefillin.

By the way, the ink can deteriorate over time, so you should probably ask a sofer if they need to be checked again, nearer his Bar Mitzvah.

I believe Reggio in that us worn has a chazakah that it is kosher. But if it isn’t work it loses the chazakah and needs to be checked.
Prob is still cheaper if no damage.
Will probably need new straps.

My grandmother (may she live and be well until 180) still has my grandfather's tefillin, it's not really an option for us. I'm looking for something nice to do at the bar mitzvah party itself. Doesn't have to be all spiritual, even something like hanging a photo of him in the hall.
