GI Bring-back Certificate

[Edward Tinker]

Also, see the type (in my books you can see many, many types of bring back certs from WW2).

Prior to being standardized (this is my conjecture, but pretty sure I am right); certificates looked like this, they were typed up and were for soldiers going back or shipping guns home.

After the war, they have a totally different look to them.

The ETO / European Theater of Operations was even more different.

Ed - I am curious; your comment seems to indicate that this certificate did *not* come from ETO...Even though it says "German Pistol" on it...

What is it about it that makes you say that this is from some other theater???
