PRIVATE SCOTT BY DML

I'm cleaning some of my older figures hence the consecutive DML figures. According to the box Pvt. Scott is a member of the US army 4th infantry division. The box also indicate that the time line for the figure is 1944. During this time the division participated in the Normandy invasion, they landed on Utah beach. The 4th infantry division also saw action during the first world war, Vietnam war, Iraq and Afghanistan.

M1923 cartridge belt with suspenders carries ten 8round clips for the Garand.
Several gears are attached to the belt like the M1 bayonet with M7 scabbard,

The rifle's charging handle can be opened.

The 8round clip fits nicely in the compartment.
Lock and load!

It is only attached in anticipation for close combat or when ammo is used up.
