Allied booty of German weapons and ammunition after 1945

[EOD]

I am helping a friend with a book project. For this we are looking for documents which are stating on possible booty weapons and ammunition and how or if they were shared amongst the Allies after 1945.
Of interest are all quotable sources. In case somebody knows any document or publication on this subject it would be highly appreciated to be pointed to such documents.

smle2009, they as commercial dealers will know about treaties of the Allies?

best to ask them that EOD....knowing the paperwork involved with exporting arms ect I would have thought the history and original origin would have to be documented to do so...just saying it is worth a try

Actually not as this is war booty + knowing the Russian they will never tell (a customer today will not know anything on how the Russians or anybody else got into posession of what) and also I doubt the Russians kept track of what they captured themselfes and what was allocated to them due to treaty agreements and can tell what is what and will indicate in any sale contract. Having seen documents of 2 Russian museums and their files on certain weapons we know that even the museums do not know where the weapons initially came from.
