First M1 carbine purchased?

[vintage hunter]

My first .30 carb. was an Iver Johnson I purchased from Woody's Pawn Shop in Orangeburg,S.C. in 1988. Paid $110 for it and a box of W-W HP ammo. Jack, I worked in/around Waldorf, Md in the summer of 1993 and I'm pretty sure I've been to the shop where you bought your carbine. I worked for a co. out of Oklahoma that built the foundations for cell phone towers. There was a big race track about a mile up the road from the first one we built. Beautiful country up there.
