That's not an M1, it is an M1 Carbine- a totally different rifle.

I took this photo in 1956 when I was in high school (Frankfurt High School) and on a family trip through Europe. General George S. Patton was buried in an ordinary grave in the American Military Cemetery in Luxembourg. He now (2019) lies in a very promenant place with a large memorial stone. I took a photo of his grave marker and when I got my prints back from the PX, I was shocked. The camera had taken a double exposure with Patton's grave marker image superimposed over a photo of Dragons' Teeth tank barriers on the Siegfried line in the Saar. That camera was a Voightlander Vitessa which was supposedly not capable of taking a double exposure. This is NOT Photoshop. It is a very eerie photo.

Great shot, but that's a US light carrier so definitely not at the Midway battle so the seller has that wrong.
