Dutch law is quite strict concerning the posession and use of explosives, ammunitions and firearms.
Basically everything is forbidden, except fired brass cases and blackpowder firearms made before 1945.
Fortunately, if you can prove your serious interest and obey the specific paragraphs, autorisation is possible.
This legal autorisation I have now even protects me in a way.
No risk of losing as long as I document well, and live by the rules.

The licenses that I obtained allow me to collect hand- and riflegrenades, mines and all caliber rounds.
Handgrenades and landmines are considered "weapons" in Dutch Law, and needed an extra autorisation.
This autorisation has a maximum of handgrenades and needs renewal everytime I reach my limit.
I just had my 4th renewal with current max. of 500 grenades. I'm a little under 400 different types now (01-2010).
(grenades and riflegrenades together)
In order to get my all these licenses I became a member of the Dutch NVBMB, part of the ECRA.
Membership of the NVBMB was required by the Justice department so I joined up.
I never knew that there were thát much enthusiasts. |
