UBB.threads Forums General Militaria United States Militaria Museum wants Seized Custer Artifacts Returned

A bit earlier than my area of collecting, but interesting none the less.

Custer Artifacts Seized

interesting story here. many things these days , seem not worth dealing in ,just because of new laws (the eagle feathers).
like ivory items, if you can not prove to a fed. agent it was here in the U.S. , PRE BAN ; you're in trouble. even if your mother bought it in the 1960's. who would have saved that store receipt.

A few year ago at the MAX show they had a lawyer guy talk about the legality of owning war souvenirs, and what kinds of things could be "stolen" vs. "liberated" it was quite interesting. Fortunately, so far I have not been offered and plundered Reniors...
