My wife´s father died 1 and half year ago. I have heard some rumours, that he was the hunter and have about 30 guns collection. Ok, I haven´t hunting license and not intrested for that types of collection.
We have the law: you have 1 year to get license and papers for guns (or sell them) after original owner is dead. I visit first time after the dead this man´s private room, which was locked down, of course, 11 months after his dead.
I still can´t believe, what i found: 2 Portuguese 1941 Mausers with matching bolts (full shooting contidion), 2 1944 dot Mausers with russian captured stamps and his widow tells me later, that there was also 2 Mausers more.
There was also about 3-5 SKY stamped soldiers riffles, Mosin Nagant and some more riffles(I´m not expert).
But and but: It was only one month to deadline, when his widows must make decision to sell or give it all riffles to Police. Some of his relatives was made deal with local sport store for all alot a few weeks earlier: 900 euros
We try to negotion with my wife and his mother, but it was too late and I still haven´t license for any gun.
It all was lost, only for 900 pieces of Euro coins. All riffles and this poor man´s lifetime collection.
Women: they don´t know and aren´t intrested that kind of stuff.
