[QUOTE="Chard, post: 1691019, member: 2454"] AFAIK, the military very rarely allows weapons to be purchased. I know general grade officers have been offered there sidearms in the past. I was thinking maybe these shipped directly from a Army post to him and was purchased thru the old Director of Civilian Marksmanship (DCM). In the 50's and early 60's weapons would be removed directly from certain Army post inventories and shipped directly to the DCM customer. I have the paperwork from my deceased uncles 1903A3 rifle that was shipped to his address from a Army post that is dated early 60's. [/QUOTE]
