I just obtained an Inland 7-43 from a family member. Serial # 530122, marked Inland Mfg Div General Motors 7-43 on the barrel near the front sight.

There is a circle with a P in it on the bottom of the wood behind the right hand grip. the crossed cannons and circle are on the side of the stock. there are other markings on the wood stock, all over the place.

It does not have a bayonet mount. It has a little pushbutton safety. It has the original flip up rear sight, with no windage adjustment device. It is missing the strap.

I am wanting to find out if this thing is in original condition and has not been tinkered with. Would posting photos help? My goal is to find out the value so that I can make a donation to a charity equal to the value, in the name of the recently deceased family member from who I received it. It is really a beauty.

I will also want to find legitimate, original parts to complete what is missing. The strap, the fleeced canvas bag and more original magazines. Does anyone want to recommend a reputable source for originals that would align with this Inland unit and it's date?

Thanks
