Although I don't know this for sure, it seems very unlikely that this gun is a personal object of Saddam and therefore not a symbol of anything. If it were a gold plated, engraved gun, then sure, it's a valid trophy, like the personal sword of an opponent would have been. But if the opponent had droped his weapon and picked up the sword of a common footsoldier before he was killed, the footsoldiers sword wouldn't be a valid trophy.
I think it's just a hunk of metal and doesn't mean squat.
