The Lost Battalion

M1917 Enfield

Used by the American troops. It is evident from the bolt handle which projects back and then down rather than out and down that it is a M1917 rather than a M1903.

The shape of the bolt handle is obvious here, distinguishing it from the M1903.

M1911

Used by the American officers. The hammer spur is small enough to indicate that they got the weapons right for the period by using a 1911 rather than a 1911A1.

K98 Mauser

Used by the German troops. The bolt handle does not turn down, indicating the chronologically-correct K98 rather than the later K98K.
