''La copa se hallaba en custodia del último país ganador, hasta adjudicársela Estonia, en el Campeonato Mundial de Lucerna (Suiza), en 1939. Al ser invadida Estonia, uno de los Tiradores la escondió para preservarla del saqueo y vaya uno a saber que fue de él, por que su secreto no trascendió al reanudarse los campeonatos en 1947, de modo que en Estocolmo se compitió sin la presencia de la copa, cuyo hallazgo recién anunciaría dos años después, el gobierno soviético.
