Inland Manufacturing (General Motors) U.S. M1 Carbine, serial number 632664, chambered in .30 Carbine, in excellent overall condition and retaining almost all of its finish. This example wears an Inland barrel dated 8-43 (August 1943) and features a plum-colored trigger housing marked "LGK SB 0649." That marking is an Austrian Gendarmerie inventory number — Landes-Gendarmerie-Kommando Salzburg — applied when the carbine served with Austrian police in the postwar period, giving this piece a documented European service history. The stock is marked "P" and "RA-P." The bore is a mirror with sharp rifling, and there is no import mark on the rifle.
The carbine comes with one magazine bearing the "SP-SG" maker's mark (a recorded but unattributed magazine code), a GI sling and oiler, and stock-mounted magazine pouches. The M1 Carbine, produced in the millions during WWII across multiple prime contractors including Inland, remains one of the most collectible U.S. martial arms, and examples carrying authentic foreign police-issue markings are of particular interest to military surplus collectors.
