Worth It ?

The band on the Underwood is a repro. The front sight belongs on a Saginaw. Rebuild marks on the stock, etc.... JUNQUE!
The Inland looks ok. I know Bonniedog. If he says its original, I believe him.

Stay away from the Underwood Charlie.

First trip around that Underwood reached $1825.... and still didn't meet the RESERVE. Now relisted with 10hrs left, it's @ $750.......

Early Inland sold for $2,856.00. Looked like a original carbine to me.....

To bad someone went wild with the steel wool.
Damn painters had to make sure they splattered paint specks on the stock also.

Not steel wool - most likely sand paper or a ScotchBrite pad. Steel wool would have been preferable. Too bad, too, because it was an otherwise untouched early Inland. I think somebody paid $1000 too much considering the scratched-up steel.

i inquired about this one, seller told me the reserve was 1995.00,isnt it amazing how it "almost" reaches the reserve ?
im pretty sure the underwood was listed in the back of the carbine club newsletter a few issues ago, was only asking 1400 then, and this undie was listed on GB back in febuary and sold for 1200. i could be wrong, i dont have my notes where im staying, but im almost positive it is
