WWIIBuff1945 Posted January 1, 2019 Author #101 Posted January 1, 2019 My latest acquisition. (Pre98 gun) A Mid-43 Mauser HSc brought back by Lowell Van Tilburgh who was a member of the Army Air Force's Air Weather Reconnaissance Squadron.
Pegasus6 Posted January 1, 2019 #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

Is Stenger a relative of yours?
Pegasus6 Posted January 1, 2019 #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.
WWIIBuff1945 Posted January 1, 2019 Author #105 Posted January 1, 2019 Hey no problem. I hope your situation works its self out. Good luck.
Pegasus6 Posted January 1, 2019 #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...
Cpl. Punishment Posted April 6, 2020 #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!)
Cpl. Punishment Posted April 7, 2020 #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.
Cpl. Punishment Posted April 7, 2020 #109 Posted April 7, 2020 Here is a photo of the man who brought back the above HP35
dunmore1774 Posted November 23, 2022 #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
