Hi. You're right on the names. As to the weapon, I took several bottles of whiskey to the front lines to trade for some Marine Fatigues cause we didn't have any flying suits available in Suwon and all I had were my Class A's also traded for some boots, never did understand why we didn't have any equipment available when I arrived in Korea. So I also traded for two weapons, the one pictured and an M1, both dug out of the mud. My armament crew chief cleaned them a made them operational. I think it was Russian manufactured and issued to North Koreans. Any thing we needed a Marine would get it for us, they loved our close air support. Kerm
