Inland m1 carbine paratrooper

[anton67]

Does this paratrooper carbine look legit?
The seller says that it is all correct and he wants $3,500 for it.
Also, a20..jpg31..jpg14..jpg6..jpg22..jpgny thoughts on what it is worth?

... 2nd Production run on Inland Paratrooper Carbines - Serial # 5,150,000 thru 6,700,000

did inland actually make 1,550,000 'A1s in that second run or was that just the range that they came out of? seems like an awful lot of them considering there were only 5 airborne units (total) during WWII but the 11th, 13th and 17th didnt have the combat exposure that the 82nd and 101st did...

NORMAL divisions were 12,000-15,000 troops so even if all 5 were fully equipped at the large end of numbers with M1A1s the 2nd run (if every serial was assigned) would be double the number needed...

I like it. The fakers haven't used rebuild marks - yet - in my experience.

Seems a little pricey to me however. Maybe that's the market now.
