    Generational M2's

    Thought I'd share a picture of three generations of M2's

    Left to right. Handstamped, Machine stamped, Machine stamped then over stamped.

    And they follow in serial number sequence. 6,778,XXX, 7,052,XXX, 7,084,XXX

    Now just nice paperweights and conversation starters.

    I once was lucky enough to have a first gen M2 that was machine stamped and mint...made in 5 or 6 of '45(I forget). Had a bayonet lug and all the late features...long time ago. I have the number here someplace...
    Regards, Jim
