Any help would be appreciated .... I have a Winchester Sn 12785XX that I purchased from CMP (Bavaria/Austria) the inside of the box is marked with the Underwood .U. but the outside of the box is marked with the M as shown in the picture ...... I have not been able to find description for the origin of this marking. Thanks

Just one of the markings sometimes seen on Underwood slides, possibly an inspectors marking.

Hi Wayne,
Thanks again I really appreciate it......
Well that would be a real good reason for my not finding anything referencing it. 
Is there anyplace I can go to reference what would be "appropriate" parts for for this carbine given the manufacturers traded parts IF they were having a shortage so their production didn't drop?

I believe I saw the M referenced in War Baby.
