Hello,

My sincerest apologies for the delay, George has left Mearto and I am the new antique weapons specialist. I am currently catching up on the backlog. This is an M1 Carbine made by the Inland Division of General Motors in 1942 to be issued in World War Two. It has some mismatched parts, such as the rear block on the reciever which is stamped "Rock-ola." It is in overall good condition, with a fair amount of wear on the finishes. There is some corrosion forming on the metal surfaces. The carving in the stock would have been done after it was sold as surplus, which unfortunately hurts its collector value. Given the condition of this piece, and completed auctions of similar items, a fair market estimation is 950-1,000 dollars. Please reach out with any questions.

Thank you,
Bo Stuck
