    This picture has had me baffled for a while,

    My wife got me this framed picture some years back at a yard sale. It's a real photograph, someone punched holes in it for a 3 ring binder at one time, the left edge is real deteriorated. Rifle of course is a U.S. Model 1903 Springfield.

    Someone mentioned to me that maybe it's a WW2 French Resistance fighter, but the 1903 rifle really doesn't fit for that in my opinion, I've never seen a picture in the history books of any French Resistance with a 1903, unless left over from WW1?

    The picture looks "staged" propaganda? movie?

    Text on picture says 1601-56AD

    any ideas of who, what, when?

    Could it be a Screen Shot for a Movie,or a hopefull Actresses Portfolio Photo,maybe ?
    The number 56 AD could be the year.
    Just a thought,

    It looks like it might be Ingrid Bergman, though it's not scene from the movie (for whom the bells toll), so if it is her it's a publicity shot.

    Whatever its just an opinion.

    I can't believe that only Jerry recognized Ingrid Bergman! Lordy, do I feel old now....(and yes-it's definitely Her....)

    Thanks for the replies, faster than I thought, I should have posted this long ago.

    I posted this on Facebook, and one other forum tonight.

    Someone suggested the actress was Märta Torén, and that the movie was "Sword in the Desert"

    Sword in the Desert - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Check out the movie poster? she has a 1903 in it? maybe?

    Cool! I'm not feeling so ancient now! It IS Märta Torén after all! That girl could pass for Ingrid's twin! Good work!

    Thanks, I guess that confirms it, mystery solved, I wonder how a real photo of her ended up at a yard sale?
    Thanks again for the help.

    Since this photo is from a movie, and not a real watime photo.....

    MODS please delete this thread if you want.
