Hello: I recently purchased a Winchester carbine. S/N 6,5xx,xxx. I has a bayonet lug on it, marked Diamond D (Donaldson?). Ruth, Reisch books show the correct marking to be 'C'. Could a diamond d marked lug possibly be original to the carbine, or do you think it has to be a field replacement or done during a rebuild? Opinions? There are a couple internet postings that mention Winchester was behind in production because of making the M2s? Could it be that they used a diamond d marked bayonet lug or is that not very likely at all? Thanks!
