Looks very close to me Bill. But I'm often fooled by these bands.
Be nice to hear from one of the better known collectors.
Usually see the I in UI stamped lighter.
That's a member from here bidding on it.
You may recall him..........

I actually considered bidding on that and using a repro swivel until I could find a replacement. I just couldn't bring myself to mess with my Inland and increase group size with a type one band! I bet it is from a Bavarian Carbine. It looks very Teutonic! Why use stamped when you can use milled cast steel!

Fro has a selection of Type 1 bands posted on his site. Kinda high for my blood, but guess they are worth it since there is no question that they are authentic.
