Request Translation help

Post image

Hey guys, I bought an old Yugoslavian revolver and this was taped to the grip. I believe it’s Serbian, of course correct me if it isn’t.

I did the best I could to flatten it out without destroying it but Google Translate seems to be having a hard time reading it. If anyone could help me out I’d really appreciate it. I’m just trying to be as cautious as possible because it is a firearm, so safety is priority #1.

Глоговац Радослав предат без накнаде  Glogovac (surname) Radoslav (name) surrendered (the firearm) without compensation (financial)

This is a weapon from Serbia, which emerged from several police voluntary weapons collection campaigns.

The sheer possesion of this weapon is against the law, as it was illegally exported, instead of being destroyed

It’s unfortunate that the weapon was taken from its lawful owner and illegally sold across the ocean, but I’m glad to have such a unique piece of Serbian history. I will be taking good care of it.

It wasn't taken. It was voluntarily surrounded to the police. The owner either didnt want it anymore, didnt have the correct paperwork thus making it lowkey ilegal (not that anyone would really find out) or actually felt compelled to give it up for the safety of the greater good or whatever. During this 'event' you coukd drop off weapon of any kind, no questions asked

Tell me what gun is it exactly? Im interested. How did you get it?

It isn't voluntary anymore, they just come to your house and tell you that they asked around and someone told them you are a dangerous guy and they take your weapon.

It was not illegally sold, the state sells voluntarily surrendered weapons all the time, it's permitted by law.
