    Now I see what you're talking about Frank. I couldn't see anything but a blur there before. Yes, given the 1903s in the pic, and the fact that Reising guns WERE on issue at the time it makes perfect sense that it's an M50...with folder.
    Regards, Jim

    Note he's not really wearing any other gear. No cartridge belt or ute belt for that matter. Medic? Officer? Hum???

    If you look close you can make out a folded Stock of a M50. Look at where the end of the Wire Stock should be when folded and you can see the shape of it. That's what I'm seeing, but I been looking at it so long my mind might be playing tricks on me.

    I love that the marine behind the officer has a Thompson with a 50 round drum magazine
