M1A1 Jump Case

Finally got a Type 1 M1A1 Carbine dated 3-43. I am looking for a REAL 1943 jump case to go with it. Any help will be appreciated.......Thanks Jimmy

Tough item to find as an original. Maybe Ebay, but watch for fakes. Some places like Liberty Tree Collectors or other vintage militaria collectors may have one. Recently there was one on "gunauctions" for almost $400.

Thanks.......At least thats a place to start. I am lucky to have the carbines i have, a IBM abd a Standard Products in addition the Paratrooper. The M1A1, i've been after for about 10 years. Traceable to a 509th Parachute Infantry Battalion vet later 82nd airborne............Thanks Jimmy

Northridge gun parts has them, At The Front has reproductions that are real close.
