Prom Queen







“I guess you could say that I was somewhat withdrawn from my classmates. I spent a good deal of time being a loner. I suppose that had something to do with the way we lived: always on the move, never living in one town very long. It’s very hard to make lasting friendships that way. And my father was rather strict with me and my two younger sisters. He insisted on proper behavior and very often vetoed our choices of boyfriends. There was always a curfew whenever my sister or I would go out on a date, we had to be home on time or else. But I never resented his authority. I’m thankful for my strict upbringing; I feel it has helped me learn discipline, and that’s very important in this business.”Sharon Tate

They are regular rifles, just smaller marines I think.

Upon looking further, they appear to be larger mockups but not sure.

I thought - "hmmm, anti-tank rifles"? as some were used by various forces early in WWII.

They're large scale mock-ups used in classes to familiarize recruits/boots with the weapons and the nomenclature of the parts. I had one for the M-14 and another BAR model like the one shown in the photos. Wish I had never let them go. They were kinda nifty to have, even if they were useless space takers.
