I have a WWII era (issued during Korean conflict) M1 Carbine that is pristine, right down to the strap. Never fired in anger or used in combat, soldier carrying it was in Alaska. It was produced in Saginaw, MI.

I wonder what it’s worth.
I have an Underwood carbine, all original (a GI bringback is what they call it) manufactured ten weeks into production which does not have the ‘crossed cannons’ cartouche stamp, rather it is marked GHD.

Guy H. Drewy is a legend, and a member of the Ordnance Hall of Fame.

Most carbines were disassembled and then re-assembled before the Korean ‘conflict’. ANY carbine which is complete, and unaltered, by the U.S.Army is considered very collectible ~ I have been offered $7,500 on gun forums, but it is NOT for sale!

(I bought it for $750)
