Rare Winchester carbine for sale. Excellent condition.
Left factory in New Haven, circa WW-II, no standard serial number, just the letter "A".
For more info, or to place bid, contact:
Poulin Auctions, Fairfield, Maine.
Thought y'all might be interested.

Interesting....Very early mag catch, but a much later straight hammer.

Discrepancies are consistent with carbine history as described in letter of provenance.  Contact Poulins for history if at all interested.

Yes.  My dad worked in the ballistics lab at Winchester New Haven during WW Been with the family ever since.
