13-352 Garand Picture of the Day

[Bob Womack]

The local military museum has an entire rifle that is nickel plated that was a presentation piece given to some general or another. It is beautiful, but obviously meant to go under a mantel, on an "I love me" wall, or in a display case.

Winchester made quite a few of them for Ordnance bigwigs and Congressmen. They were quick to say they were made from rejected parts and that the chrome plating changed the dimensions, so they would not function. They made a wall hanger and a table model on a stand.

Check out the wood on the table model! Figured stocks were not uncommon but hand guards were. Attachment 67638Attachment 67639
