WW1 German Property Bring Backs

[alanint]

Thousands were brought back and used in raffles and fundraisers throughout the country. This was before the NFA Act of 1934 and before the US government started mistrusting its citizens. This is when you could mail order just about anything. As a kid I saw Maxims in little memorials in parks and outside post offices and VFWs that were fully intact, with perhaps only the bolt missing.
