I have a strong interest in papered bring backs and I know there are others who collect the same. I thought it would be interesting to see examples from everyone's collection. Here is my Walther Model 4 from Sergeant Steelman who served in the 100th Division 399th Infantry "C" Company.

Walther brought back by PFC Floyd Morris from the 13th Airborne 515th parachute infantry battalion Company "G" I was outbid on this. Someone has a nice Airborne bringback in their collection.

German Ortgies pistol bringback from Sergeant Walther O. Kinney from the 290th Combat engineers. You just have to love the custom made GI grips!

Beretta Model 1934 bring back from Sergeant Arthur Walters. Traded from Master Sergeant A.L. Griffel. I'm still trying to research this vet and find out what Division he was assigned to.

Found some bringbacks sold by Pre98 Vintage Military & Collectable Firearms. With their permission I am posting some photos of their sold guns. I wonder if any members of this form own some of these cool guns? Nambu type 94 bringback.
