The Stg44 was produced from 1944 by the german army in ww2. So very late in the war, very few of them (comparatively to most ww2 guns) were made and as you can imagine, guns from the "losing side" tend to be destroyed. They were pretty much the first "assault rifle" and the AK47 adapted a lot from it. It was found in Conneticut so it was almost definitely brought home from WW2 by a US soldier, it was almost certainly used in anger.

Undoubtably its worth preserving as a very rare example of something of historical significance, but I dont blame someone for not recognising it as such.
