    The rear sight on your other carbine is not cast it's machined and it's correct for your other Inland. Both the machined type 2 and the stamped type 3 rear sights were both used at the same time. Your new ones appears to be an original and not rebuilt. It's a good find for sure. Back in the late 60's early 70's putting a SS number was encouraged by the FBI and the police departments to help protect and ID stolen firearms. Back then there was no worry about ID thief. Police departments used to have engravers they would lend out to residents to ID all of their property with their SS number.

    Is that a cut-down Type III band? What is that triangle mark?

    Didn't some Inland Type IIs have a triangle mark on them? Would type II be correct for that serial number?

    The Triangle Logo was the most common of the type two band markings.

    Sweet, another transitional Carbine. We went for months without a "new find" of an unmessed-with transitional Carbine with type II band and Type II or III sight, and now we have three or four, since my new Winchester is one, too.

    I had a few rifles with social security numbers engraved in them from POs who passed away. I still have a number 3 Enfield like that. Like posted this was common practice during the 60 and 70 to do anything of value. I never seen one with service number if that is what the other number is. Doesn't look like a phone number.

    Glad the rear sight is correct. I have War Baby but wasn't on me at the time. I knew the barrel band was correct. It's not cut off its made that way. Notice it has a 2 rivet hand guard.

    Last all patina is correct. It's dirty and dusty. I need to wipe and oil it to get the dust out. It's a nice carbine. First one I found all correct.

    Thanks
    Michael
