Standard blade front and two-leaf rear peep sights, "9-43" dated Underwood barrel, unmarked type 1 barrel band, early style milled flat bolt, milled trigger guard, smooth unmarked magazine catch, push button safety, early style two-rivet handguard, "high wood" stock with oval oiler slot, crossed cannons stamp on the right side, and "SJ" stamped in the sling recess. Provenance: Bruce Canfield collection.

Fine. The carbine has mostly an overall dark patina with small nicks and dings throughout, cycling marks, and edge wear, and some pitting visible on the trigger guard. The wood is very good with a large chip absent near the oiler slot, dings and dents throughout, and scratches. Mechanically excellent. If you want a correct original representative of a field used WW II M1 carbine, this is a solid example.
