My new Inland additions

[usgicollector]

I recently picked up a couple early Inlands. I thought I would share them with you.
I would like to thank member Scott R for the 204944 Inland
The other 112135 came from another sale.
I believe the 204k is original and the 112k is mostly original.
Both carbines are blued, but the 112k is much more worn.
Both show the two-tone Inland trademark finish on the barrel and receiver.
On both guns the trigger housings and slides both look parked and almost all small parts and pins are blued. The trigger housing retaining pins both have the spring and both hammer springs are 22 coil springs.
The stocks are both highwood I cut with a flaming bomb in slingwell, and the handguards are also IO with the flaming bomb. Handguards both are deep groove.
112K has also been sanded and the proof P is only partial and the cartouche is only barely visible in bright light at just the right angle.

They are very similar in parts. I will give a quick run down.
