Hi,

First I want to apologize as I do not know if this is the right place to post this. I am a militaria collector and I have just been offered a Martin Baker MK4 ejection seat. Story goes it was off of a British aircraft that burned and a US troop was able to get it out of scrap in the 1960's and send it back to the US. I haven't seen it yet, but I am told it is 1/3 assembled (but has instructions). I am really interested in adding this to my collection, but I am not sure if it is legal to own one. I assume it is legal if it is decomissioned, but I don't want to get into any trouble. Anyone have any experience on this matter?

Thanks,
Phil
