That is one amazing gun room.

Remarkable. Most of that really belongs in a museum.

In the 80s German arms, ammunition, accouterments, and the like were still to be found in WW2 bunkers around Russia. Read "Aftermath" for a recounting of the Russian enthusiasts who illegally collected the relics and kept them in their apartments. The book also had a great section on the French 'deminers' who clean up UXB and other ordnance around France

Second pic: Check out the artillery Luger holsters on the shelf. Assuming the are guns in the holster that's a small fortune right there.

They might be broomhandle Mausers.

My great-grandfather was a Cossack. Wonder if that would give me any pull.
