2 weld,
Winchester, Rock Ola and Stan Pro...that I know of.
I'm sure there might have been mixed use by other makers. I have S'G' 1,823 mil with what I believe is the original band...it's a 2 weld. While my SG 3,465 mil has a 3 weld type I band....also thought to be original. Another SG close to this has a 3 weld with the welds in a pretty uniform pattern across the top.
Underwoods with 3 weld spots in a off set almost triangle pattern.

Reproduction so you can us it on anything. If it does not look sixty-seven years old and you did not take it out of a WWII pack. Run.

Thanks Charlie,
Would a late first block Rock-Ola work?.
I was shopping for an Underwood like you describe, this was my second choice.

I bought it from a reliable source. I believe I could get a refund.
Can I get a few more opinions before I complain?

Thanks,
Denny

Denny I can assure you it is GI you want opinions from some people who know less than you thats fine but I will bet the national debt it is real.

I may stand corrected with better/additional pictures. But I know a reproduction screw head when I see one. There is no curve for a case.
Paul, I was not putting the band down just to be a troll. With what I see, the whole thing looks funny to me. I have seen several of those bands with straight screw heads on ebay by the left coast sellers over the past year or so. I am sorry to say, the humpers are getting better and better.

The band has the correct screw it is not easy to see. The band came off a CMP white bag gun about 4 or 5 years ago. I know that there is alot of mischeif going on these days but let's not jump to conclusion so quick. I have spoke to Denny and assured him his money back if he wants it but that is a real GI band.
ps it has the curved screw head not straight as you assume.

Thank-you, Paul,
I will try to look closer/better at pictures in the future.
I stand corrected. Sorry Denny for giving you a scare.

No problem the picture did not display good enough for you to tell, but it is as Bo Bices album is called it is The Real Deal.

Along with all the Carbine Club back issues I'll be reading soon. It looks like I'm going to have to take a photography class too!
High School wasn't this hard! :)

Thanks to All
Denny

No Denny, The humpers are getting so good that small things tell the difference. They have yet to reproduct the screw correctly. That is why I zeroed in on it. Before I posted first, I went to a real band and looked at it the same angle as your picture. I could see the cruve so I assumed I would be able to see the curve in your picture. Just you have two eyes and a camera only has one.

Funny hobby we have going!!!!!

PBI didn't say he parted it out. He has many connections in the carbine collecting world.

As far as I know;Underwoods used type 1A unmarked bands,late production used type II.:cheers:

The white bag carbines came in different ways. 5.0+ only a few parts changed and most not refinished. Early serial numbers all rebuilt at least once and all mixed parts. They may have new replacement barrels in original finish or the whole carbine was refinished.
Here are ten White bag carbines.
