Rare example of the nine special presentations Harrington & Richardson M1 Garand rifles manufactured for executives of Harrington & Richardson, International Harvester, and barrel maker Line Material Corporation (LMC) to commemorate completion of post-World War II M1 Garand rifle contracts in 1955. These rifles are described in detail on pages 496-497 of "THE M1 GARAND RIFLE" by Bruce Canfield. The nine presentation M1 rifles were roll-stamped: "U.S.RIFLE/CALIBER .30 M1/H&R ARMS CO." in three lines on the top of the receiver heel with no serial number. The rear face of the receiver heel was roll-stamped with the H&R and LMC logos along with "1955" and "ONE OF NINE". Canfield states that the nine presentation nearly rifles were manufactured by H&R in secrecy and their existence was unknown for many years. Aside from the special receiver markings, this rifle is a standard, late production, H&R M1 rifle.
