Another mystery solved!10/10/2018 AuthorWritten by Norman Cramp, Director of the Darwin Military Museum. In early August 2018, a friend of the Museum dropped in with a strange metal object that he thought had some military connection, although he couldn’t explain why as he did not know what the object was, or used to be used for. The Museum’s Curators took on the challenge by starting the research process, although there was a reasonably firm view as to what the items had been.

AuthorWritten by Norman Cramp, Director of Darwin Military Museum
AuthorPaul Huard is an educator, analyst and historian, who writes about the military, foreign policy and U.S. political history. The M3 was born out of the necessity to put inexpensive sub-machine guns in the hands of American soldiers and Marines quickly and cheaply.
Dubbed the ‘Grease Gun’ by GI’s, the M-3 developed a reputation that kept it in the U.S. military inventory from World War II all the way through to Desert Storm in 1991. Darwin Military Museum
