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.

Very fine, with 85% of the original parkerized finish, showing areas of brown patina, edge wear and mild handling marks. The stock shows wear and handling consistent with field use, with some edge chipping and dents. Mechanically excellent.
