I had two uncles on this side in the war,(more on the other side), one brought a smashed stock bcd (still looking for a bcd stock) home the other a pistol (which his son has and I hope to have it someday since he has no kids). Two other friends bought back pistols. So a 3 to 1 ratio. Plus captured would likely mostly apply to pistols since a GI could just tuck it in his belt he would not carry a k98 with him thru rest of the war. My uncle did capture his pistol the other uncle picked up his k98 from somewhere since he was Air Corp. I would think pistols might be more plentiful if not for the imports.
