Answer the original question and leave me out of it. I have some knowledge of Quartermaster Lend-Lease material, but Ordnance not my expertise, and tried my best to answer a question that went unanswered...where were you? I collected US martials long before the current crop of C&R collectors and writers, I got over the juvenile fantasy of firearms, in fact stopped collecting anything all together 40 years ago mainly because of dealers and long range experts that know everything.
