Is this anyone's collection here?

I was searching an old harddrive for unrelated pictures, and I came across a bunch of pictures I saved off of a forum I can't remember, and I'm positive it wasn't lugerforum.

Apologies if said person is a member here and for some reason didn't want these reposted (I actually did a Google Images search for them to see if the forum post still existed, but I couldn't find where they came from.) I understand if you have to delete this post.

Link to the imgur gallery of 19 pictures:

If I knew, and I don't, I don't think I would want to say it in a public forum... that is a lot of expensive iron in that closet! I wouldn't want to be the one to put the owner in jeopardy of a break-in... the owner might live in NY State near that newspaper that was publishing gun owner names and addresses...

I vaguely remember, from whatever forum I saved the pictures off of, the guy who posted the pictures said the singularly photographed Krieghoff was worth a substantial amount itself (for whatever reason is beyond my knowledge, naturally, I'm sure someone here might know.)

I also remember them saying that Afrika Korps poster is worth many thousands. But, then again, so is pretty much everything pictured.

If I remembered right, I saw this group of pictures before. They belonged to a collector who had passed away, and his family members planned to sell those guns, so they took the pictures. That's a few years ago.

I truly wish that I could tell y'all that those are a picture of my luger collection, but, sadly, they are not!! I couldn't start to guess the value of what is seen.

Pretty cool video of a 1930's Manville Gas Gun (like the one in the guy's collection) being fired.
