This is an excellent example of an early production U.S. WWII Rock-Ola M1 carbine a blade front sight with "TR" 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, "M-R" marked narrow barrel band, standard receiver ring markings, smooth push button safety, "BR" marked 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, retains 95% plus of the original parkerized finish and 95% plus of the original blue finish on the bolt with some light edge/cycling wear and the trigger guard bow showing a mottled grey-brown patina. The wood is also excellent with a few scattered light handling marks and crisp cartouches. Mechanically excellent. One will look a very long time to find a finer example!
