    Tough ask but anyone know more about these in NZ? Any for sale? Expected price & their wartime/postwar history?

    Any info appreciate. In the hunt

    STG 44's have showed up in Africa and Syria. Google "ww2 after ww2", a blog about ww2 weapons and how they were used post war.

    They turn up at auction now and again, both e and c cat. Have seen an e cat go for $3500 but they have jumped up since then.

    Bloody hell a genuine one would go for $12000 usd but I'd expect to pay a lot more in NZ

    I know of one on E, but he'll never sell it in a million years, and the queue will be deeeep. You're going to pay an arm and a leg for one for sure, IF you can find one

    Perhaps, although some people (myself included) would prefer to have something that they could shoot

    I don’t know him haha, just used to subscribe to his YouTube channel. He ( in my opinion ) is one of NZs most high end collectors.

    They were worth a fortune, and then the Syrians found container loads of them lying around that yugoslavia and Russia had captured from the square headed sausage guzzling Nazi's, and had given to them in the 1950's. I read that they have about 5000 of them in play in the Syrian war at the moment. I wondered where they got the ammo from*, but they are using them still.
