| This one is a very long and on going question. I have M1 Carbine Saginaw SG 3356xxx ,which has a stamping on it that is out of the ordinary. It looks like this. I have followed a few avenues , like Z Special (a WW2 unit) and possibly this may lead to a Bavarian marking? Does anyone have any light that they can shed on this mystery? Cheers Alex | |

| Yippee, finally another one And it's on a different maker that adds to the puzzle. Is it in the same place? and are you aware if it's had a rebuild? As I mentioned earlier I went down the z special unit avenue, even talked to a vet of the unit, but he states they actually removed all the markings from their weapons Do you have any history on your one, IE can you track it's ownership? | |

Is there any chance you can get a pic of your marking to me? I have seen another one today, it appears to be in a similar place to mine and the same size, would be keen to see what you mark looks like. Cheers Alex | |

| Here is the photo from Hillbilly Bob, looks interesting, I will have to get some more details from you about the rest of the markings on this one, serial, other markings etc, to see how it compares to mine. I will E-mail you for some more detail, unless you feel comfortable adding it here. Cheers Alex | |

| Once I figure out how to use this site, I will become more literate. That must be some kind of armory stamp, surely. Mikey, what do you think? Cheers, Robbie. | |

| IBM s/n 3820122 Barrel: IBM undated Stock: type III, has a U and a 2nd letter that is illegible Rear sight: adjustable Safety: push button Barrel Band: type IA Stock has been heavily lacquered and has several non-GI approved repairs by use of small wood inserts. Buttplate is non-GI. The barrel has the import mark "CAI ST A, VT", meaning Century Arms International, St. Albans, VT. Century Arms has not been in St. Albans since the early 90's. They've imported carbines into the USA from all over the planet, wherever they could find them. Bottom of trigger housing has what looks like the letter T stamped (see pic). Bolt is a flat bolt, but, looks nickle plated. This carbine was sold at an auction in the USA in summer 2007. Seller claimed it was a Bavarian carbine, but it has no Bavarian markings, nor does it have the 3 or 4 last digits of the serial number on various parts. I think someone told him it was a Bavarian because of the lacquered stock. I've seen a lot of Bavarians, none have had a lacquered stock like this one. Hey Mike, does this buttplate look like the one on that black M2 stock you had? Jim Southern Cali BavarianM1Carbines.com | |

| Here's another one, on that Underwood that sold on Trade Me a few weeks back. Alex, can you make a list of the ones we have found so far and I'll do something with the info. Mike | |

| I will endeavour to get this sorted for you over the Xmas break Mike.
Isn't it funny how it goes for so long without a lead, then they all start popping up.
Cheers
