Yes that is what they are. The papers officially allowing you to bring the gun / item into the states. (I have also seen actual "capture" papers of Japanese Swords that were turned into the military authorities, so you could use that term also).


With your capture papers, you didn't have to toss it out the window and keep everyone awake from the splashes,


While I was in the service, captured items (friends told me, I never went to Saudi, Iraq, Granada, etc.,) could be brought back, but guns were verbotten. I always wondered, would I have tried to sneak a pistol back?? A AK-47 or 74, no way, too much trouble you can get into...


I know that when they went to over Iraq, all the .45's were switched over to 9MM, and I wondered if there were misplaced guns? But, the last 10 years the army has been a peacetime army, meaning they worry about all the little things and it isn't worth it to stretch the old neck out to far.
