General Patton's M1 Garand
This video features Mark Keefe from American Rifleman, Ashley Lebinsky (Firearms Curator from Cody Museum), Jim Speeka, and Phil Schreier discussing a specific M1 Garand. The rifle was manufactured in 1944 for presentation to General George S. Patton, who famously called the M1 Garand the 'greatest battle implement ever devised.' Although never presented to Patton due to his passing in late 1945, the rifle was kept by Winchester and eventually donated to the Cody Museum in 1975, where it has been displayed since. The video highlights the rifle's pristine condition and historical significance, teasing its valuation in a future episode of Gun Gurus.
