1942- U.S. soldier in full fighting kit including new Garand semi-automatic rifle with early gas-trap operating system that was later replaced with the common gas port operating system
Early gas cylinder with spear points, and straight up sight wings, so probably earlier than about serial 30000. No finish on it.
Two official images of the type often used in Ordnance manuals.
