A current thread on the Mosin forum asked for info on importing a gun from France. I too may need to import a gun (Germany), but have the additional issue of first getting it registered. My situation would be similar to that described in the "Winter 2016 GCA Journal" article on "battlefield pick-ups". In the article a Garand was picked up by a farmer and later sold to a collector who kept under cover until 20 years ago when it was then registered. In my case a pistol that belonged to a now deceased relative. Can any German members comment on issues of registration?
