to the moderator: I exceeded my upload limit again and still a few museum .30M1s are coming.
Can you please give me some more room on the server for this research work? Thanks. gr. Patrick

@New2Brass:
Thanks a lot, I'll upload the rest. @W5USMC: I investigated that flash hider thoroughly, so far found no markings. I'm not sure it is original. Need to have a few more of them in my hands. By the way, here is a nice website devoted on the 104th: 104th Infantry Division - National Timberwolf Pups Association. An Association of the grateful Sons, Daughters, Families and dear Friends of the World War II Veterans of the 104th Infantry Division, U.S Army |

We continue with the National Postal meter police .30M1 of the topic above.
 Underside of the operation rod chamber has a number marking. Never saw that before  Some markings on the inside of it.  The cleaned parts  A rubber buttplate  The rubber buttplate is actually quite thick. |

Next Carbine:
A Winchester with folding stock (that can still fold). So it's not original. S/N 1259563 (Oct '43) Barrel marking: AI 2-64 (replaced by Dutch artillerie inrichtingen arsenal) 2 30 shot magazines (forgot to check marking) attached to each other with some sort of clip.    W marking on hammer  IO marking on handguard (Overton)   .U. marking (Underwood) |

Thanks for the good info on the flash hiders. Again....a very nicely documented topic.
I didn't saw any of the markings on it. So I suspect it to be an aftermarket example.

Hi Rebel,
Thanks for your reaction and sharing the information on your great uncle. You're always welcome to visit our museum in Achtmaal in the mid-south of the netherlands (dedicated to the U.S. 104th). We have lots of personal gear and accessories to see in the museum. gr. Patrick
