This is a very fine original example of a World War II U.S. M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine that was manufactured by Inland. "S" marked blade front and "S" marked two-leaf rear sights, with a Inland "4-43" barrel, flat bolt, smooth button safety and "W-I" magazine catch. The high wood stock is fitted with a 2-rivet handguard, Type I barrel band, and "slim jim" grip, with a circled "P" on the rear, "IO" and crossed cannons on the bottom of the grip, brass rivets on the brown leather cheekpad, and cast-in numbers on the steel buttplate. A tan canvas sling is included.
