Identification (M1A1 Carbine)

[tswar]

I don't know too much about antique firearms. I inherited this rifle and did a little of my own investigation online. I would appreciate any help confirming my finds and figuring out the year of manufacture/anything else that's important to know about this gun. I'd be thankful for a general estimate of its value as well.

M1A1 Carbine (IBM):
EDIT: This is an M1 Carbine (IBM)

I also have a luger. I know the DWM and Nitrocrown symbol is there but don't know anything else about it.

Thanks.

couldnt help with the identification but would you be interested in selling the Luger?

The M1 is a early production, based off the rear sight and not having a bayonet lug. IBM are more on the rarer side as far as total numbers produced.

on the luger, I'd venture to guess it wasnt a vet bring back since it has Made in Germany on the grip. But was probably imported pre 1968 due to not having the actual importers name on the gun. I could be wrong on that just a guess.

Once I know more about it. Yes, I'm interested in selling both of these in the relatively near future.

Edit: I am no longer interested in selling the Luger and am keeping it as a keepsake.

The only thing I can tell you at this point is that this is not an M1A1 Carbine -- that was the Paratrooper folding stock model and was only produced by Inland Division of General Motors Corp -- it is an M1 Carbine.

The Luger appears to be a common commercial pistol from between the wars. Is it 9 mm or .30 ? Quite a nice gun, too worn for serious collectors and the left grip damage doesn't help.

Need to check if it's numbers matching.
