Which is the problem I am currently facing, in order to meet the purchasing requirements the weapon must be one made in Germany between 1943 and May 1945.
Its not hard to find a variant of the STG but finding a genuine WW2 model is quite hard, so far three of five that I have had authenticated are post war models.
