The FIRST M1 Garand Ever Produced

The first M1 Garand ever produced was one of the first 80 made by hand, often called "Model Shop" Garands. Not only was it sent to Aberdeen for testing, it's a rare "gas trap" configuration that was later rescued from the scrap heap, and was later personally owned by John Garand himself, and later author Billy Pyle.

The history is staggering, the provenance is amazing, and the significance is off the charts.
