When I was about 16 years old (40+ years ago) I met the father of a girl I was dating. He was a Vet from the WW2 and he was collecting a pension from Germany (so he was regular army not SS). Interesting guy and he had multiple collections of all sorts of things. Port, classic western revolvers, swords, 16th century plate armor suits etc and it was all legit. No replicas or anything that had been plugged. The whole house was full of that stuff and he had a big walk in safe in his den. All of the firearms were stored there. He showed me what was inside and it looked like he could equip a small army! Mostly German WW2 stuff but he also had every version of the Lee–Enfield. Since the law changes in Australia we can't have collections like that anymore so I often wonder what happened to his. (He died about 9 years ago)
