Hi,
Of course, there's always the possibility that some guns survived in storage, reference collections or private hands and dripped back into the Bundeswehr that way. A nice side note is that the Western-German army was basically without reference material (read: their own pre-1945 weapons) after the war. A Dutch collector and commercial manager of NWM, a DWM/IWK subsidiary in the Netherlands had built up a reference collection containing some 800+ firearms at the NWM factory. Representatives of the Bundeswehr visited NWM around 1950 when the Western-German army was being reinstated and redeveloped. The Germans eventually bought the reference collection and it was to become the basis of the 'Wehrtechnische Studiensammlung' of the Bundeswehr in Koblenz. |
