Continuing the theme of vet bring backs (without papers) and small things that can make a find that much better, I present this bnz45. Late unfinished T block rifle, typical of this type- no screws holding the bands on, no final acceptance, no final Eagle H on stock. Stock is ill fitting, mixed wood types (laminate handguard with walnut stock).
This set came out of a NJ retirement village after the vet passed. The family told the picker that the rifle was captured at the factory- the vet was an 11th Armored Div vet, but I didn't get the name (unfortunately).
What I did get was a red cloth that the vet had the rifle wrapped in, which turns out to be a peice of supply parachute dated April 1945. Enjoy!
