Pegasus6 Posted January 1, 2019 Share #102 Posted January 1, 2019 Pegasus6, the Nambu is at Post #8. Looking for the one Captured by CAPT Robert Stenger, with a sword, the Nambu SN is 3871. It was sold by Rock Island Auctions https://www.rockislandauction.com/detail/63/847/tokyo-arsenal-baby-nambu-pistol-7-mm-nambu VR peg6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pegasus6 Posted January 1, 2019 Share #104 Posted January 1, 2019 Wow that went for some big money. Is Stenger a relative of yours? I wish I could provide more details but it is a matter between myself and the buyer... I should re-phrase that, its a matter between the buyer, RIA, and myself. And bottom line up front I would never buy from RIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWIIBuff1945 Posted January 1, 2019 Author Share #105 Posted January 1, 2019 Hey no problem. I hope your situation works its self out. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus6 Posted January 1, 2019 Share #106 Posted January 1, 2019 Thank you Buff, Its just a very delicate situation. RIA did nothing wrong on the front end, Buyer didnt do anything wrong, and I peiced some things together that make it a very unfortunate story... And nothing is illeagle or stolen. Thats not what I am implying. But RIA absolutly has done and is doing NOTHING after I presented a plethora of information to them. They just care about they made $ and they refuse to fix anything or contact the buyer. Never buy from RIA... VRPegasus6 Yea I am a content camper. But somebody oblivious and I'm sure very content still with thier purchase and they shouldnt be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Punishment Posted April 6, 2020 Share #107 Posted April 6, 2020 I want to bump this back to the top! Lets see some more bring backs! On a side note, I am always looking to buy bringback weapons (as a re a few other guys on this thread!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Punishment Posted April 7, 2020 Share #108 Posted April 7, 2020 Here is one in my collection! Notice the capture papers are filled out in March of 1945! It also came with a modified 1911 shoulder rig holster which I am sure is what he wore while driving truck. He was part of the Redball Express.

dunmore1774 Posted November 23, 2022 Share #111 Posted November 23, 2022 It seems odd to me that the majority of the pistols posted here are of non-German manufacture. I guess I expected to see more Lugers and P-38's. Interesting reflection on what the Germans were using and what US service members brought back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
