What Is a "Bring-Back" Gun?
During World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, American servicemen frequently brought home captured enemy weapons as souvenirs—commonly referred to as "bring-back" guns. These arms, often including Lugers, Mausers, Arisakas, and other iconic models, can be immensely valuable when properly verified.
But not every war-era firearm is authentic—or has a clear history. That’s where we come in.
