WWII War Trophies.

[Adam Helmer]

Dan,

My discussions with old WWII veterans discloses the war trophy bring back policy seemed to be on a division-by-division policy. It seems soldiers could send back two rifles and two handguns in the 28th Division with approval of their Company Commander. I have seen handwritten approvals listing the soldier's name, rank, serial number and the serial numbers of the guns.

Jack is correct, "Capture Papers" add a premium to the value of collectable WWII arms.
