Cache of Firearms Found

[behblc]

Great photographs.

Very interesting photographs , amazing - I can't begin to imagine what is still around in easterne Europe or indeed may still be in private hands in western Europe.

What can be salvaged here ?
Can any of the guns be saved as collectors pieces ?
Hope that did not sound like a stupid question - I just don't know how you go about treating them and preserving them.

Thanks for sharing and showing the photographs - much appreciated.

hallo Gentelmen, could there be a chance that a lot of weapons and ordenacne was burried in the hope that warewolf units could digg them up later and use them?

This of course for cahces found in Austria and germany, maybe in Eastern Europe or other ****ries they were just burried in order to dipose of them and not hand them over to adavncing allied forces...

maybe the resistance stashed them?

but not with broken stocks....

Perhaps a local hid them away to reclaim in the future...and forgot where he put them...

I think, that is a find from Poland

very high posibly Froz . I agree with you . It could be found in Poland . If iit isn't from my beutiful fatherland , it may be from some of ex USSR country's. We have a lot of such places in Central nad Eastern Europe where firearmas were hided ( mostly by partizants but also by retreating german soldiers ). I think Froz and other fellow collectors from Poland and from other Central-eastern Europe countrys will agree with me.

This reminds me of a cache my former father-in-law spoke about. He had buried a cache of weapons at the end of WW2 under a barn in Germany to keep them out of the hands of the allies. No other reason I guess, he knew the war was over. I wanted to go look for them but the family said do not even bring it up. Now he is dead and his secret cache went with him. He was a former member of the Hermann Goring Division.

I can't see the pics, but I would guess that if the rifles were boxed - ie, carefully boxed and then buried, the stocks may have rotted, but my gut feeling is that they were shattered by the troops before being buried - they could even have been plowed under after the war.

I'd sure like to see those pics!
