The Sturmgewehr 44 dates back to 1944 - Value $20,000 to 25,000 - It was the first modern assault rifle ever made - AK 47 copied design - Police "did not take the gun in for the gun buy-back program." - Photo in Comments

Probably a "War Trophy".

The Federal Government will assure that the future of this rare collector's piece will become dire. I'd actually prefer that this original "assault" rifle get collected by police and displayed at Connecticut's Crime Laboratory collection. (Sturmgewehr 44s are that rare).

It it was not registered in 1986, it can never be added to the national firearms regestry and therefore can never be legally owned. It is destined for a BATFE collection somewhere, with no compensation.

This is Connecticut, ...it'll end up in a crooked cop's personal collection.
