Topic - IBM carbine - reparkerized or original?

Hi

Thanks for the link to the carbines issued to Germany after the war.

The marking on the trigger guard are exactly those of the Wurttemburg-Baden, Stadtkreis, Mannheim Police, and the finish on the woodwork also matches the finish description on the other ex-German issued Carbines included on that website as well.

So that answers my questions about the re-finish of the metal work and the woodwork, as well as identifying what happened to the IBM Carbine in the years after the war.  I do not know when it came to New Zealand though.

I note that I did not find any other markings on my Carbine from its time Germany, as some other of the carbines appear to have received.

Question - on the handguard there was a '10' stamped into the woodwork on the inside - is that what identifies the hand guard as being made by Inland?  

I also found a '10' stamped on the tapered part of the stock where the sling goes into the buttstock (the '10' does not show clearly in the photos due to the shiny finish on the stock and the number having being partially filled by the re-finish substance).

Many thanks for the information and guidance.

Regards
Mike
