Un-Issued IBM

[bacarnal]

Just brought home an un-issued IBM. 3.8 million run, S flip sights, type I barrel band with NO other impressions on the JLB stock, stamped-braised B-EB trigger group with GM-B hammer and SW sear, IBM no year barrel with no hint of shadow from a type III barrel band, S24 bolt, AOB slide, correct push button safety, etc. All parts that would meet the criteria of cross pollination betwixt the factories. The stock has the roughness that can only come of not being sanded or having steel wool applied, the correct small ordnance belt and cannons, and two boxed P proof marks. Also, on the right comb, boxed S S A A and on the left hand of the stock forward of the sling well, R.R.A., which would be consistent with the two boxed P proofs and it would make sense that San Antonio's stock would be transferred to Red River Arsenal when it closed in 1949, plus slight dings and dents that would come from hurried packing. Any thoughts on what it is worth? Thanks, Bruce.
