Description:

Manufactured by Auto Ordnance and distributed by Valor Studios and Keystone Armory to commemorate the bravery and exploits of the men of E Company, 506th PIR, 101st Airborne, perhaps better known to most simply as Easy Company. From Operation Overlord (D-Day) to the occupation of Berchtesgaden, these men would later be portrayed in the television series "Band of Brothers" based on a book of the same name by Historian Stephen Ambrose. Carbine has standard features and commemorative markings, and is signed by the following seven members of Easy Company: Babe Heffron, Buck Compton, Don Malarkey, Rod Strohl, Brad Freeman, Ed Mauser, and Frank Perconte. Signatures are in black felt tip pen with protective lacquer. The included certificate lists the carbine number as "Prototype" and notes only seven prototype models manufactured. With original box.

Rating Definition:

Excellent overall. 99% original finish remains with some light handling marks. The signatures are dark, clear and legible. Mechanically excellent. Box is very good with some storage wear.
