Manufactured May 1944-January 1945, within the known range of the 2nd series run of Inland M1A1 paratrooper carbines. "Z" marked blade front and "I.R.CO." marked adjustable rear sights, with a Inland "7-44" barrel, round bolt, smooth button safety and "HI" magazine catch. The low wood stock is fitted with a 4-rivet handguard, Type II barrel band, and "slim Jim" grip, with "RIA/EB" on the left side of the body, a circled "P" on the left side of the grip and "RI/3" on the bottom, welded steel rivets on the brown leather cheekpad, and an unmarked steel buttplate. A green canvas sling is included.

Very fine, with 80% of the arsenal refurbished parkerized finish, showing some light edge wear, mild spotting and light handling marks. The wood portions of the stock have been sanded and re-oiled, with some play in the grip and mild dings and scratches, and the metal buttstock is a commercial replacement part. Mechanically excellent.
