Her dad had it completely deactivated to satisfy BATF. She found that paperwork
What paperwork? Please be specific; that could be the key to whether it could be legally reactivated or whether it needs to be stripped of its parts and the receiver destroyed. There are dewats on the registry that transfer as live weapons and can be legally re-watted; these retain almost all of the value a transferable or C&R machinegun of the same type. Depending upon exactly what paperwork she has, it could mean the difference between it being worth a few hundred dollars as spare parts or thousands of dollars as a registered piece.

Also, is her father alive or dead? If he's deceased, she could contact the administrator/executor of the estate and have them contact the NFA Branch at BATFE to see what weapons he had registered to his name. If the StG44 comes up as a dewatt registered to him, she could be in luck.
