MECAR M1 Garand T119 US & Italian grenade launchers & No.94 Practice Rifle Grenades

[FlightRN]

Good Day All,
It took a while and a great deal of luck but I was able to purchase an Italian M1 Garand grenade launcher with the white box around the PER FUCILE CAL .30M1 nomenclature that Bob Seijas mentioned before. Thank You very much for informing us of this variant.
My guess is the boxed variant came after the milled example I found a number of years ago (pictured below). As to Yards vs Meters ladder markings, since MECAR also produced the T-119 for the US military and they were subsequently not purchased en-masse, perhaps the excess ladders made for the US were purchased the Italian military at a discount. Its complete supposition on my part. whichever the ultimate reason, the range ladders appear to be designed specifically for the ENERGA Anti-Tank round.
Best Regards,
Michael
