“Those guys bought up some of the obvious stockpiles,” says Mitchell with a twinkle in his eye, “But they really didn’t know where to go or how to act” Also, because of internal wars and political uncertainties, some interesting items are only just now available, if you know how to find them. In communist countries the military had no sense of relative economic values so, after WWII, they just continued to store this stuff decade after decade, even after it was out-dated.Īfter the iron curtain fell in 1991, traders rushed in to buy up the pieces from the new and cash-hungry governments. “You have to understand the communist mind” explains Mitchell. WWII ended well over 60 years ago! Why were these items stored so long? “we’ve emptied military warehouses before, but never found anything like this!” commented Don Mitchell on his last adventure in eastern Europe ” some of this stuff is like fine jewelry!” The hope here is to find preserved in – a time – capsule items, ones that are prized by collectors everywhere. In the continuing search for the last collector grade K98 Mausers, Don Mitchell hunts for the hidden treasure of WWII. For years Mitchell’s Mausers have been using their family connections in the search for WWII-era collectable Mauser Rifles, Curios and Relics, for import to the United states to preserve history for Americans.
