M1 Garand photo needed

nimrod26 · 09-17-2007, 08:10 PM

Hello, this is my first post and I am glad I found this forum. I do have a request
that I hope someone can help me with. I am in dire need of a photo of a M1
Garand with a WWII to style helmet on th butt end and the bayonet stuck in the
ground. I’m sure many of you have seen this before to represent a temporary
grave marker. I need a good photo because I am going to have it lased for a
large plaque for a WWII Medal of Honor recipient for his 84th birthday. There
will be other images as well but I need to use this M1 image twice. Here are a
few photos of what I have in mind and what I have done.

I'll take a look on the web to see if I can help.
Do you use a laser engraver, or are these pieces hand worked?

Thank you. I use a laser engraver and have done several for MOH recipients as well as others. I hope you can help.

You will find a photo here: A Grim Memorial | The News is NowPublic.com

It is an M16 however. There are many other touching pictures there too.

Here is the real deal. Second picture down.

Here's one I found of a couple of Marines walking past a temporary grave on Iwo Jima. Hope this helps.

Nim, that's great what you are doing; beautiful work too.
If you'd like, I'll dig out my bayonet, helmet, and Garand and take pictures for you.
