Weapon transferred to the Museum from Rock Island Arsenal on 21 June 1957. At that time weapon was appraised at $46.00.

Notes: We have a number of these pieces in the collection with close and consecutive serial numbers. Some have SPAR Weapons Development Branch tags on them. Their design is quite close to that of the U.S. Survival Rifle, M6, and it is quite possible the design of that weapon was developed from the Game-Getters.
