I have in mint condition a M1 carbine (totally IBM) that was given to me by uncle (Navy UDT) who told me that it came off the Normandy beach.
Is there in way I can verify his story. He was a career Navy diver. I'm a vietnam navy vet BTW Tom

Thank you for your service...and your uncle’s.
If you have no documentation, all you have is a story. Not being rude, just honest. We have all heard totally believable stories about bring-backs. Unless you have a paper trail, that’s all you have. Be very happy and proud to own an original!

Welcome to the club.
IBM carbines are one of my favorites. Pictures would help and/or a general description of what you see. There's a show in Hampton in a few weeks. I'll be there and can always tow a few IBM's down that way for comparison purposes. |
