This is an excellent example of a scarce semi-Automatic version of the Reising sub-machine gun. The H&R Reising Model 60 semi-automatic carbine has a 18 inch round barrel, adjustable ramp rear sight and is fitted with a 20-round magazine. The walnut stock has grasping grooves and sling swivels. The top of the receiver is marked "MODEL 60 -H&R REISING-CAL.45/HARRINGTON AND RICHARDSON ARMS CO./WORCHESTER, MASS. U.S.A. PAT. PENDING" in three lines. The front of the magazine is marked "H&R REISING/MODEL 50 - CAL. 45 MAGAZINE' in two lines above the H&R name and address. Although nearly identical to the Reising sub-machine gun utilized by the Marine Corps during the Guadalcanal Campaign, the Reising Model 60 was not used by the military and was manufactured as a weapon for police and security guard use from 1944-46. This weapon is complete with an original WWII canvas sling, but is missing the magazine (easily found on the secondary market). Of note, there is "SAFE" and "SA" marked on the receiver which may not be factory.

Excellent with 99% of the original wartime green parkerized finish with only very minor edge wear, with some dried grease around the rear sight. The stock is also in excellent condition overall with only a couple of very minor handling marks with a nice even medium brown color overall. An exceptional example of the military collector.
