Look anything like this?








"VICTORY TRAINER 1942 P.D CO"





"A number of lightweight junior training rifles were manufactured in the
       U.S.A. by the Parris Dunn Corporation of Clarinda, Iowa.




     

The example below is a representation of the 1903 Springfield Service
       Rifle.









     







     

This rifle was rather more of a child's toy than a military training
       rifle. It sold from many U.S. department stores. The wooden stocking even
       incorporated the black-painted rear-sight, barrel "bands" and
       a wooden-dowelled barrel protrusion. The 'receiver', trigger, trigger-guard
       and sling-swivels were of pressed steel, but the bolt - which "actioned"
       - was of cast-iron. The steel butt-plate is impressed."
