Some of the old timers may recall there was a six digit Inland on GunBroker about a year ago that had a type V slide. Everyone assumed it was a partial restoration due to the slide type. One of the guys that used to post here frequently snatched it up because he knew Inland was using the type V slide on a limited basis much earlier than all the books say they were. Turned out the carbine was all original with original finish and the serial number was only a only a few hundred off the lot of test carbines.[/QUOTE]

That was find indeed. I was fortunate enough to see pictures. We continue to learn.
