Nickel-plated M1 carbine
#1

A big hello from Luxembourg,

 

I've been in an small privat museum yesterday, the museum is located in Perlé (lux) www.385bg.com , the museum is dedicated to the men who died in a crash of 2 B17 over Perlé in july 1944 and it live's only from donations etc. .

At the end of the visit Roger our guide went to a small room with a display cabinet and in there was a nickel-plated m1 carbine Roger told us that it has been found after the bulge in Eschette (lux), Roger told me that he could not explain why it is nickel-plated and by whom, he said maybe it was Patton's, because Patton was in Eschette Roger said. (Roger is 72 years old and lived in the area that time)

So now to my question, do anyone on this board know anything about that the army or airforce issued nickel-plated M1's?

If you need more information about the carbine let me know it and I try to get them, I would be very glad if you could help me out with this.

 

Thanks

 

Martin
