I been in search of another Inland and came across this one, but in pic #10 I see 2 wheels Parts of the orignal Ordnance Wheel. Was this Re-Stamped or maybe its just my eyes. Someone really wants this M1.

Looks like the stamp bounced, but the weird thing is that the lower part of the cannon looks like it bounced to the left and the the belt/wheel bounced to the right.

It looks like the wheel was traced on and was cut with a razor not so long ago.

either way it looks too crisp for the wear in general of the stock, IMO

Acceptance stamp on stock appears to be correct and authentic. I have seen many Inland acceptance stamps that have been double struck, with one being lighter than the other as if the stamp bounced. In my opinion, it is correct.

Hi Charlie: Your examples look authentic, but the one in question does look like someone was not very good with an xacto knife. GK

I have a complete as built 5.4 Inland and my NPM has an old I cut Inland stock. The remarkable thing about both is the sharpness of the cartouches. The I cut is a lot older and beat up but the cartouche and circle P are as sharp as the day they were struck. The 5.4 is a lot newer and it is extraordinarily sharp as well. I suspect that Inland took great care with their stamping tools and kept them sharp and changed often.

I have a 1943 Inland M-1 (S#338564) that was owned by a WWII Vet from the 82nd airborne; he told me before he died he purchased it just after the war. It appears original (no later addition mix-master parts). The Vet never refinished (i.e. sanded) the stock.

But there are no cartouches anywhere on the stock. Is this normal, or the sign of a later replacement stock? (the stock's sling slot is oval cut and stamped PU in the sling well, low wood cut-out, and two-rivet hand-guard, if this matters)
Thanks, Robert
