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.

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.

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...

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!)

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.

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
