Clip pouch for M1 Carbine

[painter777]

Definitely a QHMC Crossed Cannons Cartouche.
I see a early Type I barrel band, possibly a Hi-wood stock with Oval cut oiler slot: A Type II stock if so.
Also see push button safety, plus what looks to be a real C tip sling.... that now sell for over a $100, more if the sling has any markings.
Bottom line.......... a Carbine you want to see much more of.

Szvacek,
Do you have any Carbine books?
If not a great starter book would be : U.S. M1 Carbines, Wartime Production, 7th edition, revised and expanded, by Craig Riesch. Est $30.00
Can you look in the stock's left side sling well, see any letter markings....... like QRMC ?

Really looking good so far

Cheers,

Good book, but some real price gouging being seen on Amazon and other Internet sites right now. - Bob

Mine was grubby from oily fingers so I picked up an extra at the May show. They sold there for $20. I heard the publisher died and the wife may not continue publication.

some real price gouging

Your not wrong there $162/USD was the lowest up to $962/USD from ABE.BOOKS cannot understand why they stack the price so high
