Fake Rebuild Stamp

Beware everyone, fake rebuild stamps have arrived, just a matter of time before they make Std Prod RWH and
Augusta.
M1 CARBINE UNDERWOOD HAND GUARD STAMP U - eBay (item 110621112207 end time Dec-12-10 15:56:10 PST)

A rebuild is a rebuild. Why would anyone want a rebuild stamp? Maybe the fakers have gone as far as they can go with making a Carbine look original, and now they are going the other way?

I saw that the other day. Why would anyone want to fake a rebuild stamp? :confused:

Seems like he has a bunch of stamps, sling well too.

M1 CARBINE RMC/ROCKOLA CARTOUCHE STAMP - eBay (item 110621112648 end time Dec-12-10 15:57:30 PST)

The dots are too low, at least compared to a .U. marked stamped stock I have. Maybe it is a handguard stamp and no a rebuild stamp. I didn't see that the seller mentioned the hieght of the letter. It seems that a handguard stamp would be smaller/shorter.

But, if everyone is intrigued with rebuild marks I have a couple you can have. Just figure out how to get it off my stock and on to yours.

Born to play with guns.... forced to work.

just from my experience i dont recall seeing handguards withthe builder mark as .U., Mostly, i have seen the Pedersen-U , P-U, and M-U

I remember seeing a handguard with an .U. but I don’t remember the other markings. It was either in a book or on an auction sight. I took a quick look through the books I have and the only reference I found was in J. C. Harrisons “The M1 Carbine III” in it he claims Underwood supplied handguards to Irwin Pederson with a ”.U.” I'm pretty sure the one I am thinking of had the dots even with the bottom of the U like the stamp on Ebay. The on the stock I have with Underwood's rebuild stamps the dots are about even with the top of the radius.

If the fog lifts off the memory and I can come up with something more substantial I will add to this thread.
