I know the Marines didn't get the cream of the crop but I thought the O3A3s were in pretty wide distribution by the start of WWII. That's a very nice O3 though. IIRC the background is one of the Marine poncho/shelter half combos. I remember seeing one years ago - and pitying the poor bastards who got it issued to them. Since it's in such good shape can I assume it's actually Korean War vintage? Peregrino

Nope, not an 03A3, and not a Marine shelter half. Close on both but no cigar. It's actually a trick question -- the rifle and background are from two different theaters.
