It is a good thing, too. They looked a little light. Weren't they part of that large group of Hollyweird resin-cast ones that have been used for years in movies? I think that there are hundreds of them. Can you imagine the job of aging all those models?

At least. Look at the areal view of movies like BOB and Saving Private Ryan, those for instance.

The way the extras handle things one set and they'd be aged.

In my four years in the U.S. Air Force I never saw after basic training, 1) a helmet liner, 2) an ammo belt, 3) a bayonet, 4) a M1
rifle. For our 'base defense' we were issued an M1 carbine, 10 rounds of carbine ball ammo, one magazine, and a two pocket pouch to hold the ammo and empty magazine. The major problem was finding a spot to hide the carbine while we serviced the aircraft.

BoB prop Rifle
A prop M1 Garand rifle used in the production of the historical TV mini-series Band Of Brothers, produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks. Based on the book by Stephen E. Ambrose, the series follows the wartime lives of the 101st Airborne Division’s “Easy” Company, from their training at Camp Currahee through to the end of the war.
Cast from an original rifle, this very realistic looking static prop weapon is made from a very dense hard rubber with a metal armature in for rigidity, with a paint finish to mimic the look of wood and blued steel. Such is the quality of the casting that all of the original weapon’s markings, including its date of manufacture and armourer’s marks, can still be seen. Metal loops have been fitted for attaching a leather rifle sling, which is still present.
The weapon has a slight bend in the barrel from time spent in use, as is common with stunt weapons, and remains in overall very good production-used condition.
The violent crime reduction bill means that this particular prop can only be sold to customers who reside outside the UK.
Generally speaking, it is illegal for a resident of the UK to buy this item.
Exemptions are for N.A.R.E.S (or similar) registered re-enactors, public museums/galleries or use in a film, television or theatrical production. In all cases paperwork will be required to complete the sale[/I][/B] to customers who reside outside the UK. Generally speaking, it is illegal for a resident of the UK to buy this item.

It's common for the props such as this to be sold at movie wrap to recoup expenses and make even more money on the coat tails of actors using these pieces. Specially if there's provenance that THIS was the rifle so-and-so used in some particular scene.

What's with the shades 2nd in front rank (Hung over or a top gun!) sleeves rolled up, last bloke rear rank Rt looks like his ammo belts about to fall and what's with the lanyard rope hanging from his bayonet scabbard, some sort of airborne thingy when mounted on your lower leg.
This could be the K.P party for various reasons, I mean seriously where is the pride in wearing the uniform slack as.
