Re: Rules and Restrictions in Germany
Marvin,
collector permits are issued for certain weapon families of a specific timeframe; i.e. "1911 pistols developed up to 1918", "German military rifles developed up to 1945" .
As far as I know more general permits for i.e. "handguns of all kind" are issued rarely and to experts only.
Word is that such general permits are currently getting restricted retroactively (what a BS!).
However, holding a collectors permit allows for unlimited buy within the range specified. Guns need to be registered within a few weeks and a "full inventory" must be supplied to authorities on an annual basis.
They require this to have the ability to check whether one does collect seriously.
