Any German or Scandinavian Members Here ?

My Brother passed a while back and about eight of his rifles got tied up with a crooked estate lawyer who's client was my Brither's ex-Wife. My Brother was a long time guide and wrangler in Wyoming so he had some nice honest well used hunting rifles. After years of haggling with this predatory lawyer and ex Wife I ended up with four rifles the others the lawyer got for fees. 

Anyway the two rifles are a Ithaca LSA 55 in 6 REM and the longer action LSA 65 in 25-06. When I received them neither had their box magazines and I'm sure where they went. I tried for months asking this lawyer if he knew their whereabouts. Being a hunt guide I know my Brother would have had two or three mags per gun but nothing. So right now both rifles are worthless I can't even load them one round at a time. Anybody that has either that I could buy would be more than great and I know they are valuable. I know this is a long shot but nothing ventured as they say. Probably should sell the rifles but they were his so I'll try looking and beating the brush. For the past eight months nary EBay, Gun Broker or other forums and shops can help. 

An old gunsmith friend's daughter is married to a retired Army officer who was stationed in Germany but moved around through Norway, Sweden and Finland and says when he was there those older Tikka rifles and mags were not hard to find. So wondering if there are members here that live over there could possibly help out and if located I could pay and have them sent here. 

The mags are for the following models: 
Tikka M55's and Tikka M65 ( short-long action ) 
Over here they are called Ithaca LSA 55 and 65's but same rifle. 

It's a looong Shot but worth asking
