Someone might know the former, but no way to know the latter!

Folks on the Japanese forum ask this question about Arisaka rifles all the time. Fortunately the military kept account of how many rifles were collected and then given to GI's as souveniers. Of a total of about 2.5 million, 1/2 were destroyed, and 1/2 souveniered!

I've not seen any thing similar regarding European trophys, but I believe there may be a "million" Lugers floating around too!
