Underwood M1 carbine sn.1354000 mixmaster value question
Someone offered this Underwood for sale.
Serial number 1354000 range
Barrel: 5-44 dated
Integral spring tube housing
Narrow tong
Uncheckered safety
Stamped/brazed trigger housing
Straight cut operating slide
IBM marked (SCB) handguard
Oval-cut, low-wood stock: very lightly stamped, I think it was GHD over UEF in small box, couldn't see crossed cannons
Barrel band unmarked, could be fake (has darker color)
L-type flip sight marked 'U' on the leaf and 'S' on the base
Has some Winchester parts
It is European demilled, and has a cut in the operating slide 'rail', but everything functions for dry fire
Overal condition is fair-good, has some pitting. The guy used it to hang on his jeep during reenactments.
He is asking $680, I don't think the gun is worth that but I would like to make him a decent offer. How much should I offer according to you guys?
