Bill ..Had to respond to your post..where have they been? can't answer for all but as has been noted in another post,,many of the G.I's that brought back guns are in there 80's..as my own father. He in fact brought back a little walther .25..did you know about that..of course not its still in a box with some million mark notes he returned with..He's 86..a lot of these guys are passing away and have been over the last few years. Let me ask you , if they kept the weapons and never offered them for sale..how would you or anyone else know they existed..point of fact..I just came home after buying a Forestry Service Officers Dress dagger (w/knot) mint cond. Bought it from the son of a vet. Its real..its nice and no-one knew about it except probably mom and the kids..I would in fact be surprised not to see a number of good discoverys in the next few years and expect collections will be enhanced with ownership of them..As to my Luger..This week end Mr. Kenyon is meeting me to examine the gun, I know if even he gives it the thumbs up, that will still be not enough for some...So I guess thats why we don't all drive Fords..There is always another opinion..
