These guns will most likely be destroyed.

I'm not too far from Hans, so that's why I think there's still hope. I work very close to the Police Chief here in town, so I might just ask him next time I see him.

I believe that's what they did here. Nobody wants to see money go to waste, so it's just a matter of getting over the stigma of a municipality selling guns. I can't see anything else being a problem as long as they use an FFL to handle the paperwork at the auction, they sell a lot of seized property anyway. If our PD had a bunch of Lugers and other valuable guns and knew what they are worth, I'm sure they would do what they could to get some money out of them.
