I recently acquired an absolutely amazing very early vet bring back M1 Carbine. It’s wood and metal are in the best condition of any of the early carbines I’ve ever seen. Makes me believe it Probably was issued to a senior officer or a rear-area soldier because it doesn’t look like it got hardly any combat wear & tear.
It has all correct / complete early type 1 Inland metal parts . 6-42 Inland barrel, and earliest Highwood I-Cut stock with O, LA, ordinance bomb, and Crossed Cannon stamps all in the Stockwell. Hand Guard has O and ordinance bomb marks.
Came with a early khaki C tip sling with narrow thin buckle and II Oiler and I even picked up a couple of 1942 dated magazine pouches and AI stamped early Magazines.
Pictures to follow:-)Information
