Used to be a time when a GI could bring home trophies like that. They’ve cracked down it quite a bit.

He actually has the capture receipt in his garage! It got stolen by some LT in Germany on the way back to the States

im sure the German government has a list of guns like that, it may take a while but maybe its not such a lost cause as you think. if its registered its possible

With the laws in America at the time it probably wouldn’t have been possible to register it as a Transferable Machine-gun because it was after the FOP act of 86. But worth a shot nonetheless, ill have to get the SN and try to locate it!
