International Business and Machine Corporation made this certain carbine in Late April or May 1944. It sounds like a great original Carbine.
Google search M1 Garand and M1 carbine. Also google search Mauser K98 and Arisaka type 99.
The M1 Garand was first fielded in 1936.
A small number was shipped to Canada, though they were only really used as a last resort weapon and personal defence weapon.
I would assume by the glider and infantry troops. All photos I have seen of American paratroops are carrying the M1 Carbine.
American soldiers used the M1 Garand rifle, the M1 Carbine, the BAR rifle, the Thompson Machine Gun, the Colt M1911 pistol, the M3 'grease gun' and the M1903 Springfield sniper rifle.
what year was my Winchester M1 carbine serial number 1210906 manufactured
Yes, they did.
The Universal company did make a civilian version of the M1 Carbine. Not all of the Universals use the same parts as the military issue M1 carbine. Please note this is caliber .30 Carbine, and not the 30-06 caliber of the M1 Garand rifle.
It should if it fits on other kinds of M1 Carbines.
About Jan 1944.
July 1944
.30 Carbine
Universals are a civilian version of the M1 carbine, made after WW 2. No serial number data is available for the civilian carbines- sorry.
Are you referring to the M1 Garand, or the M1 carbine? A Garand can go anywhere from $500 to over $1000, all things dependent. An M1 carbine, generally, you'd be looking in the $400 - $700 range.
A rifle or carbine.
Between December 1943 and May 1944.
