yes, although several stories do not have pictures, they help very much.

here is what I posted on the Japanese forum and Jan's forum;

hello all;
I have been collecting bring back stories since 2002, and I am finally getting to the point where I will publish. I have 132 pages so far, the book will be soft cover and hopefully full color. I have lots of stories of Lugers being brought back, an Indonesian dutch Luger, a G43, an Iraqi pistol and a few others.
Here is what I am looking for;
1. 1-2 page "story" of how it was aquired; this might be that Uncle Bob traded a carton of cigarettes for the Nambu / item in Jan 1946.
2. I would like the story as "first-hand", first person told as possible. A possible made up story from the dealer / collector without any provinance does not appeal to me for this book.
3. 1 - 5 photos of the item, be it, pistol, gas mask, helmet, etc.
I will give full credit to the person who gave me the story (or use a first name if you want to remain fairly annonymous)
And I will use spellcheck and ask a few friends and a proof editor to read it over for me prior to publication, but I will also try and keep the gist / style of the writer as much as possible.
Ed
