WW2 USMC Qualification Badges MM-Rifle-B ?

[tony75]

Hello

 

I picked these up recently and I wanted to make sure they were period?

Looking around it seems they are 1930s?

The Rifle Bar MM B is this a tough bar to find?

Thank you very much

Tony

Your shooting badges are both WWII period. The Rifle bar was issued for rifles other than the standard service rifle- the M1 carbine is an example. I believe that the "B" in this case is for a B class weapon such as the M1 Carbine. Later in the war, an actual bar came out for the carbine.

 

Perhaps some others could also comment?
