I friend wants to sell me back a M1A1icon I sold him years ago and I do not know what would be a fair price to offer him. It is a early high wood. The top of the leather cheek piece is rotted away and there are 3 burn marks on the side of the stock. The gun is a all original 43 underwood. It looked like years ago someone took a all original underwood and stuck a M1A1 stock on it. I do not think it ever went through a rebuild. The 3 burn marks on the stock looked like someone was smoking and sitting burning cigarettes on it. I originally got it out of the paper the seller said that it came from his uncle's estate and that he was a paratrooper in WW11. I asked if he knew where or when his uncle got it. He said no but when he was a kid back in the 50s he would visit his uncle and he would let him shoot it. I do not think that they were selling carbines back in the 50s. I have no proof but it sure did seem like the stock was changed out in the field and the gun came home in a duffel bag. anyway if it was all original inland I would know what to offer him any ideas of what a original underwood in a high wood M1A1 stock should be worth
