This story brings out my charitable side. I would like to assume the burden of storing these pieces free of charge to all parties involved. I would be willing to provide safe storage of these pieces indefinitely. If need be I would even cover the financial cost, of having the proper documentation drawn up, to tranfer ownership to me. In his advanced years the owner shouldn’t have to deal with the strain of fighting the government. My charitable act would also save the German tax payers money.

Fyi. German arms manufacturer Rheinmetal introduced it earlier this year.
I thought some of you might enjoy this. :-)

@elrood nice . Something with a history to protect you from Russia.

@witt although the naming was criticized for implications to Nazi Germany and atrocitoes of the Wehrmacht (something we do not like to glorify in any way)

@elrood shame it wasn’t called Tiger! Although, that scared the Allies , more than the Russians.
Panther is a good name. -
‘Panther’ seems a logical successor to the preceding ‘Leopard’, but as far as animals are concerned, ‘panther’ isn’t a separate species - it’s a term often used for black leopards. And the official Latin names of all the big cats start with Panthera, including Panthera tigris. So from that perspective, a Tiger is a Panther.
