In the United States, this rifle was the subject of a controversy when federal agents seized an example of this rifle owned by Virginian gun owner Kristopher Gasior on behest of the Polish government, who claimed that the rifle was still the property of the Polish government while Gasior asserted it was a war trophy bought into the United States legally. The rifle was eventually bought back by the Polish government for $25,000, and they later sent a thank-you letter to Gasior for his “valuable contribution to preserving Polish historical memory and to honoring Polish heroes and freedom fighters by saving and preserving this unique rifle.”

Kbsp wz. 38M - 7.92x57mm Mauser

The Karabin samopowtarzalny wzór 38 Maroszka (Kbsp wz. 38M, English: Self-repeating rifle Model 38M) is an experimental Polish semi-automatic battle rifle. It was designed by Polish engineer Józef Maroszek in 1934 for a Polish self-loading rifle trial. His prototype design was selected as the third place, and development continued. In 1935, Maroszek redesigned the rifle with his team in six weeks, five prototypes were produced in 1937 for testing, and 55 units were ordered for troop trials in 1938, to be delivered in 1939. However, the outbreak of WW2 in 1939 and the simultaneous invasion of Poland by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany cuts off any further developments of the rifle.

In the United States, this rifle was the subject of a controversy when federal agents seized an example of this rifle owned by Virginian gun owner Kristopher Gasior on behest of the Polish government, who claimed that the rifle was still the property of the Polish government while Gasior asserted it was a war trophy bought into the United States legally. The rifle was eventually bought back by the Polish government for $25,000, and they later sent a thank-you letter to Gasior for his “valuable contribution to preserving Polish historical memory and to honoring Polish heroes and freedom fighters by saving and preserving this unique rifle.”
