[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 1691040, member: 5655"] Most likely these came from the old DCM program as Chard mentioned. They are history and should be passed down through the family. Now, the important stuff: We need to know who made 'em! There are tons of books available on the wartime contract manufacturers of US weapons. When you get a chance, take a closer look at the firearms and post photos if you can. The Garand will be easy since you can see the tail of the receiver fairly easily. The Carbine most likely has the larger rear sight which often covers the name of the manufacturer. I am not very knowledgeable on the 1911 contractors but they are marked as well. If it says Singer on it, offer to take it off your folks hands really cheap. I kid, I kid! [/QUOTE]
