A kid (I say kid, he was probably...early 20's???) brought in his grandfather's M-1 Carbine to the store yesterday. I about died from jealousy.
His grandfather was 82nd ABN in WWII, apparently was a POW for some time also. He brought home an M-1 Carbine, a Saginaw, ser no 1,869,xxx. Looked close to NIB. Some minor dings in the wood but the overall stock condition was very nice. Barrel and all metal parts seemed to have very little use. Sight was the early version I believe (have not had time to look at my Carbine books yet).
His grandfather supposedly has agreed to pass it on to him as part of his inheritance. There are some very nice surprises still hidden in closets and trunks, let's hope they are found or go to those who can appreciate them. This kid did.
