Here are some pictures of an M1 Garand that my son Tom purchased. Please note in the pictures there is a lot of dried cosmoline all over this M1 that looks like dirt or rust, it isn’t.

Tom saw this M1 advertised as a WWII M1 Garand and quickly realized it was a Pre-WWII M1 Garand that became a Lend Lease M1. He quickly purchased it. The serial number of 321938 puts its manufacture date in July of 1941. It appears to me as all original and even has some red paint on the stock.

This was a Great Find. Tom now has an Early Correct Winchester M1 Garand and a Lend Lease M1 Garand. Maybe when I move on he will get one of my Lend Lease Garands.
