Very few PRC-10's made it to Korea before the end of the war. Even fewer saw actual combat use. An real picture of one in used during the war would indeed be a rare thing.

I have heard testimony from Korean War Veterans that used GRC-9's, BC-1000's, BC-611, TBX's, BC-659's & -620's, & a host of others. I've never had one tell me of his PRC-10 use.
