1903a4 / Luger Vietnam bringbacks

[WilliamT]

We had a fellow come in to the office to ask if I could identify a gun his uncle brought back from WWII.

You guessed it. MP40 in almost new condition, no magazine. It is in the Sheriff's hands, keeping it for the county museum to display as needed.

It joins a Russian AK47, a Sten Mk. II, a MP34 and a M1 Thompson in the county collection. None transferable, all working and well kept.

WilliamT- I wonder if that guy who brought in the MP40 could have had his uncle's deactivated war trophy? Probably not, since you did not mention it was deactivated. BUT, if it was a deactivated war trophy and the Form 6 Treasury Department paperwork was found, it could transfered as a dewat then reactivated to a machinegun. Following NFA and BATFE rules, of course.

I guess my point is: be on the look-out for DEWATs w/ papers, they are valuable and need to be saved.

What was that guy thinking? I'll never understand people.
