In my father's division, they were allowed to ship home one rifle and one pistol.
I'm sure some other stuff got smuggled home, too.

Guys.
It is a "CYQ" Spree Werke P-38 (Production began in July 1942 and only 283,000 were made) and remains here. I swapped an SKS and some ammo for the P-38. I just ordered a WWII belt and buckle and P-38 holster for this new addition. I am sorting out my "Heap." Adam

Sounds like you did well. Man, you got more for the SKS than I did, in 76 I traded a Chicom to a Air Force Col for of some kitchen furniture. The fact that I
offered 'no story' seemed to turn him one more.......kept the Mak... Dan

Dan,
The SKS was a very accurate arm and had a double muzzle brake I installed. I had acquired a 50 caliber can of Tula Ball in a prior trade and it went down the road with the SKS. I have several more SKS arms and need more P-38s. Adam

I seem to have had one VN bring back. Even included the capture papers. It was given to me quite a few years ago. A Bulgarian AK. My father brought back a submachine gun from WWII. I saw it a couple times as a kid. Don't know what ever happened to it. Probably sold off to finance a horse purchase
