![]() These were originally reported to be of Charlton Heston's gun
collection since he was the head of the National Rifle Association for many years. It turns out that collection belonged to a Bruce Stern of Connecticut who
was on the NRA board. He recently die and what didn't go to the NRA collection were sold in recent auction for $12 million. He had a class III license so I
assume they all worked.

These pictures have been published on the internet before. The gun room was located in a basement of a large house 'somewhere in the US'...

Found this bit on Mr Stern on the net:
Bruce E. Stern, devoted husband of 36 years to Judi, proud father of Marin and Gregory and brother to Eileen passed away Wednesday, July 18, 2007. He was 64. A lifelong resident of the Bridgeport and Trumbull area, he was a practicing attorney for almost 40 years. He served the Town of Trumbull for 14 years as Town Treasurer and was Chairman of the Trumbull Library Expansion Committee. At the time of his passing, he sat on the Board of Directors of the National Rifle association for 11 years. Mr. Stern graduated from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1964 and earned his J.D. at NYU followed by his Masters at the University of Bridgeport. A Captain in the U.S. Army, Mr. Stern was a Vietnam veteran and member of American Legion Post 141. His passion for firearms and gun owners' rights was evident in his lifetime memberships in the Ye Connecticut Gun Guild, Forks of the Delaware Historical Arms Society, Inc., Stratford Gun Collectors' Association, Inc., Ohio Gun Collectors' Association and the National Rifle Association. He was founder and president of the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen. Other hobbies included photography and traveling the globe. Constantly seeking the perfect shot, his photos both adorned office and home. A man of his word, he touched the lives of everyone he met. His work ethic, morality and tireless ambition drove his daily life and his loyalty to his friends and family was met with uncommon reciprocation. There will be no calling hours and services will be private. The Abraham L. Green and Son Funeral Home is in care of the arrangements. The auction of the weapons the NRA Museum didn't want took place earlier this year and was written about on several forums. Do a search on WA Forum for several topics about the German guns in the auction, notably the scope equipped FG42. |
