It has been my experience that after WWII affairs were very chaotic and records were poorly maintained. When a firear went missing, every effort was made to find it. If unfound it was the subject ot a "Rport of Survey" and wrtitten off the books. I know that this happened with an M-14 when I was on an army post.
