The California State Military Museum is seeking the following
items for restoration projects or for inclusion in a planned exhibit.
The Museum does not have funds for the purchase of such items.
California law enforcement agencies can transfer weapons to the museum under the provisions of Section 12030, California Penal Code and Section 179, California Military and Veterans Code.
Weapons governed under the National Firearms Act (NFA) may also be transferred to the museum. The donating agency or individual is required to initiate the ATF Form 5. NFA weapons may be accessed to the collection of the United States Army and may become property of the United States of America. Physical transfer of the weapon is completed when the ATF Form 5 has been approved by the Bureau of Alchohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) NFA Division.
Weapons must be military issue, not civilian copies or reproductions. Weapons should not be demilitarized per Army Regulation 870-20. However demilitarized weapons may be accepted for "hands on" educational programs.
