That's pretty nice. I got my Grandfather's war medals as well, 'cept they are all Australian. He got an MBE, which i thought to be pretty impressive. Dinner with the Prime Minister and all that rock:

This one ain't his, since my digital camera sucks, but it's what it looks like for those who don't know;

I'm sure there are some regulations as to what you can and can't own.

my grandpa had 2. one he sold on e-bay another he has in storage. he also had a nambu pistol. he had a lot of friends who ran american POW camps so he got his hands on a lot of stuff. he has an original copy of mein kampf hidden somewhere in his house.

naw, you just need a "destructive device" license,
which is even harder to get than a class-3 (which allows you to own full-autos, including belt-fed MGs)
