Valuable WWII Gun at Police Buy-Back

Just like a scene out of "Antiques Roadshow," a woman in Hartford, Conn.,
turned in an old rifle to her local police station's gun buy-back, only to
discover the gun was worth anywhere from $20,000 to $25,000. The woman, who
wishes to remain anonymous, inherited the gun from her father who had
brought it home with him from Europe as a memento from World War II.
The two officers conducting the gun buy-back, who are resident gun experts
for the Hartford Police Department, informed the owner she was in possession
of a Nazi Assault Rifle, the first of its kind, that dates back to 1944.
The gun is called a Sturmgewehr 44, literally meaning "storm rifle," and is
the first "modern assault rifle ever made, eventually replaced by the AK 47
in 1947 by Russia, who copied the German design of the Sturmgewehr 44,"
Officer Lewis Crabtree, one of the two officers who discovered the gun, told
ABC News.
"It's like finding the Babe Ruth of baseball cards," said Officer John
Cavanna. "The rarity, it was made for such a very short period."
Most people, however, who aren't avid gun fans would have no idea what role
this gun played in history.
"If you were to look at the gun and didn't know anything about guns, you
would think it was garbage," Crabtree said.
That is essentially what the owner thought the gun was, bringing it to the
station knowing full well it would be put into a smelter, melting the gun
down into an iron brick.
"People turn in guns for a variety of reasons," Cavanna told ABC. "They don'
t have a good way to secure it, they have kids around their home, or they
don't know how to use it. This is an anonymous way for someone to take an
unwanted firearm and get it off the streets. We then give them a $50 or $100
gift card to Wal-Mart."
Crabtree attributes gun accidents to ignorance and carelessness. The
anonymous gun buy-back program is aimed at preventing people from running
into potentially dangerous situations with a gun they don't know how to use
or work.
This seems to be the reason the woman who dropped off the historic rifle.
"Her father passed away. The gun was in her closet," Cavanna said. "She did
not know it was a machine gun.
"If the gun had been in the closet loaded, any second you could hit the
wrong level and discharge a fatal round," he said of the Sturmgewehr 44.
This German-made machine gun can fire 500 rounds in minutes, according to
Cavanna, who is also a gun range master.
At the time the officers received the gun, it was in such disrepair that it
was inoperable, unable to shoot a bullet even if the gun had been loaded.
Cavanna said ammunition would have to be especially made for this gun.
The unnamed owner of the gun has left the valuable artifact at the police
station for safe keeping.
"We did not take the gun in for the gun buy-back program," Crabtree said. "
If we took it as part of the buy-back, we would have no choice but to
destroy the gun. We don't want to destroy that gun."
The owner intends to sell the Sturmgewehr 44.
"It sounds like her family could use the money," Cavanna said.

There are still plenty of full auto stg44s around in small third world
countries, though most likely yugoslavia copies, just not that many in the u
.s. in fact George Lucas' star war movies used a bunch of stg44s as prop,
they were owned by the British.
Because there had been half a million stg44s and inumerable yugo copies, the
gun is only valuable due to it is a machine gun (I hope it's registered)
a real valuable piece would have been an FG42.
