June 1943

The "horse shoe shape with two dots" mark is a post WWII Underwood rebuild stamp.

I thought Inland barrels were dated?

They were dated, but some of the later ones were hit-and-miss with the dates. I think he has one of these later barrels (from the rebuild) in his Inland, and unfortunately I don't know when 500,000 was made. I'll guess late 1943?

Thanks to everyone for the information. I did not know if some had dates and others did not. I have the paper work from the man I received the m1 from he received the gun from Red River Army depot in texas in 1963 for $ 20.00.
Ser # 427XXX. the paper work is from the Red River Army depot. Thanks again

Keep that receipt! A documented rebuild sold through DCM is more valuable than another one just like it without the paper. Hopefully nothing has been done to alter it from rebuild condition. How about a picture?
