Bavarian M1 Carbine by Underwood
serial #6117056, 30 Carbine, 18'' 3-44 dated Underwood barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 90% reapplied Parkerized finish with light wear on high edges and contact points, about half of the receiver ring neatly cleaned to gun metal, the trigger housing toned to plum-brown, and some light handling marks. The M2-style walnut stock and 2-rivet handguard are in very good plus condition with a few light dings, minor abrasions, and some light handling marks and appears entirely devoid of markings, very likely being a later Bavarian replacement. The original receiver and barrel markings are intact and readily legible, the rear of the receiver double struck with a flaming bomb, and the small parts are marked by a variety of contractors including but not limited to Inland, Winchester, and Standard Products. The top of the receiver next to the bolt is neatly marked ''BAVARIA RURAL POLICE'', with the bolt, trigger housing, and operating slide now numbered to the gun, and the triggerguard is stamped ''L.G.K.T. / 0488'' noting its likely service in the state of Tyrol. The carbine features a stamped adjustable rear sight, flat bolt, rotary safety, Type IV magazine catch with extra nub for 30-round magazines, and a Type III barrel band with bayonet lug. Included is one ''OI B'' marked 15-round magazine showing spots of light oxidation. A carbine with an interesting history, for the martial collector. (14B11700-18) {C&R} (800/1200)
