rmoser762 Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I am looking for a STG 44 that my grandfather brought back to Nebraska after the war. He traded it several years ago and then it left the state, possibly to Florida. I'm not sure how many are out there, but I am looking for one that started out in Nebraska. If anyone has a lead or any information, I'd love to hear from you. Is there a STG 44 expert, or rare arms dealer that may be of assistance? My grandfather is still alive and I'd love to shoot it with him someday. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craigan Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm not going to lie, what you're proposing is going to be incredibly difficult. Do you happen to know what the serial number is/was, by any chance? The reason I ask is because without it, you will never 100% know if it is the one he brought back. That being said, there likely would have been war trophy documentation and/or amnesty paperwork somewhere. Just something to narrow down inquiries with. My unsolicited advice - look for a little while. But perhaps you should just buy an stg44 and share that with him. The memory will more than make up for the fact that its not *his* original one. If you never knew the serial number though, well, there's no saying it *isn't* his either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philasteen Posted June 25, 2016 Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 If you are willing to pay crazy money to get it back, trace the ownership chain and find the current owner, and offer to replace it with a really nice one and some cash to boot if he will part with it.

Dennis Todd Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Do you have the ATF (or Treasury amnesty ) registration paperwork with serial number? Was the receiver marked STG44? I have had several STG44s, but do not know if they were ever in Nebraska or Florida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
