Looks like somebody succeeded in sanding off the Ordnance crossed-cannons on the stock. It definitely is an interesting carbine but as already established, is not in factory condition or service condition. However, that band appears to be the only one its had on it, which rules out any kind of rebuild - but at the same time it has a late bolt and some replacement parts. It seems to have been heavily used, or at least moved around and handled a lot. Its a mystery carbine that I would expect to see listed for $900. Condition of bore and muzzle wear are also important factors.
