Please forgive the poor pics.
Here are a few pics of my old IBM that I have owned for a long time and the Inland that I bought this winter. As you can see, the Inland has a different back sight, so it has likely been through some sort of refurb.
The barrel, however, is marked INLAND MFG. DIV.
GENERAL MOTORS
2-43
The Inland has likely been re-blued. There has been a blank put in the rear sight dovetail slot.
The IBM is likely in much the same condition as it was when it hit the docks after WWII. It has no year on the barrel, but is clearly marked I.B.M CORP.
Neat little rifles, the both of them. The Inland was purchased by a local fellow in the 60's or 70's and put away. It never saw daylight until I bought it.
Both have: 1st style barrel band; straight face on the slide (as opposed to angled face to better deflect empties); early style mag catch; push safety (IBM has EPB stamped on the rh end); the IBM has a flip sight; the sight on the Inland has an H stamped on the lh side, and I believe this sight was used by the post-war German police.
