Another 1903 made by Springfield Armory in early 1942.

 

 

 

Made by remington , scant grip stock is not for this model or repair stock

 

No cartouche on the stock?

Regards

Ooops, this is the second stupid mistake I write in the captions.....I have to get my head checked ;-)

 

There is no cartouche whatsoever, seems to be a replacement stock.

Nice one... Who would have been issued these?

 

Sorry Johann, it's very hard to find something about US Army flare guns! Really not much info on the web! The only thing I could find is that it was WWII and US issued.

Another M1 Garand and M1 Carbine found on at a Farm, they were stored away in a wardrobe in between the old tuxedos and his mother's wedding dress, complete with two en bloc clips for the Garand and two magazines for the Carbine, with the ammo were two pieces of Hershey's Tropical Chocolate D rations

 

 

The carbine is another Underwood. I left it as I found it, with just some light rust, but I have to clean it up one of these days.

Another Colt 1911 from a local attic, unfortunately it's not in a very good shape. the old guy polished it with steel wool on a regular basis! But I won't complain.....gift horses and all...
