This is an excellent original example of a U.S. WWII Rock-Ola M1 carbine a blade front sight with "RP" marked base, Type-L two leaf rear peep sight marked "RR" on the right and "S" left sides of the base, undated Rock-Ola barrel, "H-R" marked Type I narrow barrel band, standard receiver ring markings, "ROCK-OLA" marked trigger group with stamped and brazed trigger guard, "KR2" marked hammer, smooth push button safety, unmarked smooth magazine catch, standard markings on the receiver heel, and blued flat top bolt. High wood pistol grip stock with two rivet handguard with wide sighting channel, "ROCK-OLA" marked recoil shield, "RMC" stamp inside the sling cutout, boxed "RMC" inspection mark, and "crossed cannons" stamp on the right side of the buttstock, oval cut oiler slot, and stamped checkered buttplate. Includes oil bottle and canvas web sling.

Excellent with 90% plus original parkerized finish, some small traces of edge wear, light cycling marks on the receiver rails and correct blued bolt body, and general handling marks. The wood is very fine with some scattered small dings, visible dent near the barrel band, clear markings, and mixed brown patina on the buttplate. Mechanically excellent.
