*UNDERWOOD PRESENTATION M-1 CARBINE.

*UNDERWOOD PRESENTATION M-1 CARBINE. SN JMH. Cal. 30. Standard 18″ bbl. This presentation M-1 carbine shows near-new condition overall with virtually no signs of use. The letters “JMH” are panagraph-engraved as the serial number. This was fairly common on presentation guns. This carbine appears to be 100% Underwood manufacture from stem to stern and 100% correct for its 11-43 bbl date. It retains a Type 1 bbl band, which is unmarked, with the correct flip sight that still shows white in the punch marks with some grease on the leaf. The receiver shows a couple of small holes on the bottom where the drill had broken through while drilling the spring tube. This is common on Underwoods. The trigger housing is of the brazed-and-stamped variety with a “U” stamped on the front of the clip guide with the trigger, mag catch and safety being parkerized. The pins are blue. The hammer, sear and spring plunger are in the white. The Type 1 slide is also parkerized with the hold-open being blue. The flat Underwood bolt is blued. The low-wood buttstock is marked “MU” in the channel with no government inspectors. This is correct for a presentation gun. The upper handguard is also “MU” marked. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Metal of this rifle retains approx. 98% of the orig finish with just slight wear marks from being cycled. Buttstock and handguard assemblies show near-new with only the faintest of rub marks. The late WWII sling also shows new. The flat-bottom Underwood magazine shows better than 95% of its orig blue. 4-37351 BK9 (4,500-6,500)
