    Patrick Chadwick isn't alone on the subject, but I'm a bit more understanding of the rationale behind it. GI in a faraway place with little resourses at hand has limited options to get a souvenier shipped home. He wasn't worried about collectors' opinions. Just wanted something to display or use as a reminder. Many of these rifles were never shot after being returned. Just forgotten. Now they need your help!
