Hi Sara,
We recently accepted a WWII gun for donation using our normal
acquisition procedures. However, this gun was a German gun and had
never been registered by the veteran who brought it back with him.
Therefore, the gun had to be made unusable before we could acquire it.
This involved removing and destroying the firing pin. Just something
else to consider.
Good luck!

Subject: Firearm Donations
Hello:
I am looking for guidance on a possible donation to our museum of two
World War II guns and one from World War I.
What are the requirements for accepting guns as a donation, or what
would your recommendations be?
Thank you in advance for your input.
Best Regards,
Sara Nuernberger
President
