Manufactured in 1942. Blade front and "S" marked two-leaf rear sights, with an Inland "8-43" barrel, "UI" Type I barrel band, flat bolt, milled "INLAND" trigger guard, "IH" hammer, smooth unmarked button safety, and a "W-I" magazine catch. Fitted with a high wood 2-rivet stock, marked with a "crossed cannon" cartouche ahead of the oval oiler cut, "IO" inside the sling cut (stamped upside down; inspector error!), and fitted with a green canvas sling.

Excellent, original as issued in WWII configuration with 98% plus original parkerized finish, 95% original blue on the bolt, showing some light cycling wear on the receiver and minor handling marks overall. The stock is also excellent, with some tiny chips around the barrel band spring and light scattered scratches/dents overall. Mechanically excellent. Magazine absent. If you want to own an original World War II carbine, here it is!
