None. End of story. You'd have a better chance of seeing a UFO than owning a civi G11.

You sure. A year or two back at Hkpro, there was a big discussion about there being 1 or 2 civilian G11s that were registered. I forgot what the truth turned out to be though.

Not possible. Imports would have to be regiesterd prior to 68 for civie ownership.
That leaved pre86 title II conversion and dealer samples.
There is no semi version of the G11 so that eliminates title II conversions and I don't think it was in production prior to 86 so that would eliminate a dealer sample.
I'm not even sure there is a post86 dealer sample in the country at all.
The G11 project is basically what bankrupted HK. The same year it was ready to go into production (c. 1988) the Berlin Wall came down. German economics changes overnight. Money that was originally earmarked for military adoption of the G11 was now spent on infastructure for East Germany. As a result of having to repair half the country from Communist neglect and the economic impact on West Germany caused by East German refugees the G11 adoption was cancelled.
With no military contract to offset the cost of G11 research and development, as well as the overall economic impact of reunification, HK basically ran out of cash and fell on hard times. They were soon bought out by a British armaments manufacturer after nearly being sold to Fiat.
And that is basically what happened to the G11. It shared a similar fate with another advanced arm the AN-94 in that the developing country could not afford to produce it, or arm their own forces, in any kind of quantity.
