Well with two of the well respected garand collectors weighing in on this one, I would say just like the #3 rock ola on the carbine board, this is legit. I can eat crow on this one. I would have said honor/parade gun myself. The big question I had when I saw it was it did look like a correct WIN-13 with no heel markings. It would have been a bummer if a post had done that to a highly collectible rifle.Now if I could come up with $15,500 I could have both.
Thanks for the info guys!!!

The earlier Gen Hatcher rifle has the WRA logo but no serial number. I think the VMI rifle has only the logo too.
