Bill,
One of the German Gun Collectors Assn.'s Directors has a company that specializes in importing sporting arms from Germany.This company is:
4-M Firearms Import Service
Fritz A. Berendsen
4357 Highborne Dr.
Marietta, Ga 30066
Tel. 1-770-971-3098
The advice given above is, of course, true, but the above company is well aware of any German requirements in addition to the US ones.Please note that I have no interest, financial or other wise, in the above company. I am interested in your friend being able to aquire his grandfather's drillings. As a grandfather, myself, I understand his grandfather's feelings.Unless the drillings are exported(to your friend),they must be turned over to a hunting license holder by sale or otherwise, or either destroyed or deactivated ( which is essentiality destruction).For your friend's grandfather's last wishes to be unfullfilled would be terrible. Once your friend recieves his grandfather's drillings, there are members of this board and the German Gun Collectors Assn. that will be more than happy to help him be able to shoot and be able to use them.
Mike
