sold US WW2 UNDERWOOD M1 CARBINE…..DEC 1943…..RARE UNIVERSAL WINDING “W” MADE RECEIVER….MINT CRISP!

In excellent mint crisp condition, with a very rare and highly sought after “w” marked Universal Winding made receiver, we have a top example of a December, 1943 Underwood manufactured M1 Carbine.  What really standouts on this example is the dark parkerzing of the sub-contracted receiver which contrasts from the light colored Underwood parkerizing, giving it a two tone appearance that is quite striking.  This is from the 2nd block production run and has typical features of this period such as the high  wood stock.  This is a prime example with a great cartouche.  Just a pristine example of one of the more sought after makers doubly rare because of the highly sought after sub-contractor made receiver .  If you are looking for a very desirable Underwood made M1 carbine, here you go.
