Hello,
I didn't know where to post this but figured you C&R guys would probably know the answer.
I recently was given a Mauser 1920 issue 1910 7.65 pistol. My grandfather passed it on to my father with the rest of his collection of old guns before he passed away. Now since my father sees I am ammassing quite the arsenal he decided to give me this to add to it. When I asked him if it was registered, after he laughed, he informed me that the majority of my grandfathers military gun collection were "aquired" during different tours of duty from either him or his father. So now I have a very sentimental piece that is probably illegal. All my other guns are legit so I would hate to lose them because of this one. Is there a way to register it? does it need to be since it is 90 years old? Or is the only way around it to get a C&R. I don't know why but I never got around to getting mine.
Thanks in advance for your help
