Looks more like a P38 Holster to me.

[CINDERS]

3rd pic guy with rifle on hip looks like a 1903 sniper as I cannot see a front sight and the wood appears to rise up near the chamber perhaps an optical illusion but sure looks like it, I agree it looks like a P-38 holster.

[WarPig1976]

Looks too short for a P38 I'm thinking PPK.

[browningautorifle]

I'm pretty sure that's a P38...

[Allen Humphrey]

Hard to tell on the bolt rifle. Looks like the open top of a milled upper band, which means it isn't an 03A4. Maybe the front post is obscured by the movement blur and cammo pattern in the background. Difficult to see, so I won't bet my lunch money on it.

for all you guru's, because I don't know and you might.

Third picture down, the second soldier in from the right.


The LARGE buttstock hanging down. Is that just the camera angle, or is that a rifle I am not familiar with. Ca't be a Garand ...can it?

[Bob Seijas]

It's a Garand, the extra width is the sling. You can see a space between the stock and the sling.
