Manufactured in 1943, from the first production block (serial number range 1,350,000 to 1,449,999) produced by Underwood Elliot-Fisher from November 1942 to July 1943, as shown in the table on page 395 of R. C. Larson's book "M1 Carbine Comprehensive Guide: 2nd Edition". Underwood "7-43" dated barrel. Magazine absent. Note: Due to state and local laws, this lot is not available for purchase or transfer to residents of Washington State.

Very fine as arsenal refurbished, retaining most of the finishes with some minor edge wear, mild cycling wear/silvering on the bolt, some scattered minor patches of spotting/freckling, and some light handling wear. The stock is also very fine as sanded and re-oiled with scattered minor compression and rub wear. Mechanically excellent.
