The American Swiss type 2 band is worth $200 right there
These later Inlands and Winchesters are a good source for original examples because the part swappers only get excited when they see type 1 bands. The flip sight makes them shake all over and start yelling fake. They never met a carbine that they wouldn't rip to shreds for parts. I think the X is some bored PFC on guard duty messing around with his P38 on a piece of government wood. Sanded wood is just what happens when an ignorant civilian gets a military weapon. When I got my White Sack Garand in 1983 that was the first thing I did.
I should say that I have a box stock correct 5.4 Inland and prefer these Type 2 and Type 2 sight carbines. The part swappers just walk away thinking they are rebuilds.
