  3. ​My dad said in the late 40s and 50s there were lots of guns about, brought home as souvigniers from WW2, pistols were so common kids took them to school to barter for different types, Lugers, Walther P38s and Webley revolvers were in their thousands and thousands, also 1911 semi autos, Broom Handled Mausers and many a Sterling Sub Machine Gun, even the notorious grease gun, Lee Enfields rifles and Mauser rifles., many guns the IRA used were from WW2 and many were donated by American East Coast Irish Cops, the Russians also supplied the IRA with weapons to keep anarchy going for the British Government. There were other weapons at school the most prolific were German Bayonets, Japanese officers swords and bayonets, and unbelievablely thousands of Hand Greanades of the Mills Bombs type but quite a lot of the German " potato masher" type too along with some yankee grenades, there were even anti tank mines magnetic all live, eventually amneztys were called and many weapons vanished into government furnaces, but still a lot were kept furtively, when l was in the Army the Rifles Infantry in the mid to late 70s, many corporal, sergeant's and privates had trunks containing weapons they had seized on house searches in Northern Ireland hot spots, they said for every 5 guns found ( and there were a lot apparantly some of it very old ) and handed in 3 were kept by soldiers as mementoes, our training corporal had his own private armoury lol, MP40s, Browning Pistols, Japanese and Russian pistols, even arabian rifles and flintlock pistols, sawn off shotguns, a GPMG, nobody turned ahair, many kept 7.62 rounds after a shooting practice taking them home to make ammuniton bekts to hang on their bedroom walls, l saw " lost" Boston Police Officers Pistols, hmmmmm.
