Standard Products Carbine That Sold 12-2010

[painter777]

Came across this while trying to find the name of the Inspector RWH.
Besides the price, the stocks pistol grip really jumped out at me.
Most all the metal polished Blue.

I'd like to be able to better see the 2 partial Butt stocks that were joined to make the Display stand.

$8625.00 (Plus Fees ? )
Curious if others would pay this much for this one?

Such a small supply, I wonder how many people would know difference between presentation/experimental vs. commercial, reproduction, humped, etc. without prior knowledge and/or provenance?

Think most auction houses like RIA list final prices including the premium.
That would put the RIA sale at $7,500.
Same one sold at Julia in '09 for $5,500.

So few out there, a really important one just sold at RIA for 25k so I guess 5-7k is a deal?

Thx M1A1,
That link shows that display better.
I can't figure out how to copy and post the 2 pictures showing the stand here, from that link.
Still up in the air if I like it......... I do.. Well maybe... Just Not sure ??

What do you think Franky D ?

I believe War baby 3 has a piece on this particular carbine.

I was fortunate enough to acquire one of these STD PRO presentation carbines about 10 years ago, and still have it. It has no serial number, but the parts date it to near the end of production in April 1944. The stock is the normal USGI profile (high wood), but is the same select tiger stripe wood. All original matching parts. Carbine metal is blued Dulite. Even has matching SS marked 15 rd mag.

It was mentioned Carbine Club's Newletter 350.

Too bad it can't be imported back in to the USA. Based on these auction results a few years ago, I could pay for a real nice holiday.

No I wouldn't. I'd watch others do it...
