Blue finished barreled action and parkerized remaining components. Includes a “42”
dated Boyt M1907 brown leather sling. Gas Trap M1 Garand rifles are among the rarest and
most desirable of all U.S. military arms, with this Army Ordnance Department display rifle being a
significant example.
CONDITION: Exceptionally fine, retains 95% original blue and parkerized finished, with 20% original black painted finish at the
edges of the gas trap. The stock is very fine with some scattered light scratches and dings, lightly aged golden patina on the
display plaque, and defined edges. Mechanically excellent. A Gas Trap M1 Garand rifle is a key piece in any advanced collection
of U.S. military arms, and this Army Ordnance Department display rifle would make a fine centerpiece!

The Burt Kellerstadt Collection; The Peter Cardone Collection; Property of a Gentleman.
