The "Underwood / 1 44 / (flaming bomb)" marked barrel has a large "P" firing proof mark and a bright, very good bore. The two rivet shallow groove handguard is stamped "P-U" on the underside and rates very good to near excellent. The low wood pistol grip walnut stock with a strong "G.H.D. / E.U.F." stamping with ordnance wheel on the right side surrounded by a thin line border. The left side sling cut is stamped "M-U". This stock is in very good to near excellent condition. This carbine has a type B push button safety, a type C operating slide, "AU" stamped type B magazine release, type A front band with the wide swivel aperture, type C recoil plate, type B stamped trigger housing, a "WU" stamped type C hammer and a Type A non adjustable rear sight stamped "S" on the left side and blank on the right side. The metal surfaces exhibit a greenish military finish with honest light wear. The breech bolt, magazine release and recoil block retain a hot immersion blue finish. Mechanically, this carbine functions perfectly. This carbine includes a 15 round magazine which retains a regular blue finish, cloth sling and oiler. A fine example of an Underwood M1 Carbine.  {C&R}
