U.S. M1 Carbine made by Inland in 1943.
Post war it was sent to Bavaria.
I think it was once marked Bavaria Rural Police.
A comment made back in 2003 by Jim Mock---the expert on Bavarian Carbines.
"The stamped numbers on the bolt, has only been seen on Bavaria Rural Police carbines.
The Rural Police were the only Bavaria, and German, agency to consistently put the last 4 (or 3) digits of the serial number on the slide, stock slingwell, under the handguard, back of the trigger housing and on the bolt."
