U.S. Irwin-Pederson M1 Semi-Automatic Carbine, #1786394, .30 Carbine cal., 18" barrel dated 3-43, refinished in black oxide and restored by a collector. Barrel shows marks due to the removal of the bayonet lug band. Marked "IRWIN-PEDERSEN" on the rear receiver tang, and "U.S.CARBINE/CAL..30 M1"on top of receiver ring. Barrel behind the front sight is marked "UNDERWOOD/3-43/(flaming bomb)".
