Frankfurt airport has luggage services right at the airport, I would email them at gpa@frasec.de to make sure that they will store your specific firearms. See the following link and scroll down to Baggage storage:

It's been a couple months of fruitless effort.
I've emailed and spoken to Frankfurt airport services and Lufthansa freight in Germany.
Frankfurt airport says they cannot store firearms and have no recommendations for local services that do.
Lufthansa says they cannot ship my rifle to JoBerg if I'm not on the flight but i can use a freight forwarding service to do so. Then, they recommended 2 of them in Frankfurt.
However, both of them told me they cannot help due to "company policy."
My intent is to fly into Frankfurt with the rifle and proceed with 1 of 2 options:
1 - Store it for up to 2 weeks while on other business in the region and then take it with me on a flight to Johannesburg.
2 - Ship it ahead of me to the PH's rifle importer service to hold for me until I arrive in Johannesburg.
I'm hitting a lot of walls here. Anyone have any suggestions?
This is starting to feel like I'm chasing a unicorn and need to re-think my plans.
Thanks much.
