No person, not a soldier or duly authorized officer of the state, who has possession of any military property so furnished, and which has been the subject of any such barter, exchange, pledge, loan or gift, shall have any right, title or interest therein, but the property may be seized and taken wherever found by any officer of the state, civil or military, and shall thereupon be delivered to the adjutant general or other officer authorized to receive it. The possession of such military property by any person not a soldier or officer of the state shall be presumptive evidence of such a sale, barter, exchange, pledge, loan or gift.
