*RARE WWII UNDERWOOD FACTORY PRESENTATION M-1 CARBINE.

*RARE WWII UNDERWOOD FACTORY PRESENTATION M-1 CARBINE. SN JLB. Cal. 30. 18″ bbl. With blue finish and high quality curly-grain wood. Presented to James L. Byron who was at the time the president of Underwood-Elliott-Fisher Co. All of the exposed metal surfaces are a high-polish blue with the exception of the bolt, which has been jeweled and left in the white. The components are listed as follows: The trigger housing is Underwood and retains a blue finish along with the safety, magazine catch and trigger. Hammer, sear, spring and plunger are all in the white. The Underwood slide shows a blued finish which is high-polish on the handle and exposed portions. The receiver shows a high-polish blue on the top surfaces, with the balance being the same blue but not as highly polished, and it does not retain the standard carbine legend on the front receiver ring. The rear receiver simply states “UNDERWOOD” with “J.L.B.” under it. The Underwood-marked flat bolt remains in the white with the top surface being polished and jeweled. The magazine is a standard blue “IU”. Buttstock is a fine grain with a standard military finish, with the letters “SJ” in the channel and no other markings. The handguard is a 2-rivet that shows the same fine grain as the buttstock, with “MU” markings on the underside. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. Rock Island Auction, May 2007. CONDITION: Shows as nearly new, retaining better than 98% of the high-polish blue finish with the wood showing near-excellent with only minor surface scuffing present. Mechanics are excellent, bore is bright and shiny. 4-37317 BK22 (7,000-10,000)
