Never know where a Garand will turn up...

My wife and I visited Athens last year and visited the old Royal Palace.

Ceremonial Guards were armed!

Like the Garands. Not as sure about the footwear.

Dare I say if you put a Red Nose on him he would fit in at the Circus?

LOL...Dare if you must, but do so in his presence at your own risk...those guys were BIG. I'm 6' and these guys towered over me...maybe 6' 7" or more.

I'm pretty quick on my feet Mate and doubtful the Greek budget extended to the purchase of any live ammunition.

These guys did a drill every 30 minutes or so...they looked pretty coordinated themselves. Plus, there were two of them

Just sayin...

Stood about where this picture was taken and watched this same event in June of 1971.

I noticed that the guards had the rear sights cranked up to long range, too.

No, what you are seeing is the lace of his whatever you call it

That is cool. Pretty much look the same?

You could be right about the sight, but it looks like the rear sight is cranked up in this close up...

Exactly the same.

I think most of the surplus 30-06 has made its way to the CMP & retailers in the US. Perhaps they heald a few back.
