my understanding is that many of these weapons were locked into caves with no attempt at controling the humidity. After sixty years, many of them would be too rusted to be restored profitably. Many of the remaining weapons were sent off to China, Korea and Veit Nam where they were shot out or otherwise destroyed. I think that Ed Tinker has an interest in the Lugers sent off to Nam. You can find many C-96's at big gun shows at were imported from China.
