I recently purchased XB47 which is of course a Presentation model of one of the experimental recievers.   Im looking for other information such as who recirved it first.
I cant figure how to upload the image.

Bob, I believe this was discussed on these forums a year or two ago.
I did a work up on it and the seller should have provided some information.

It is a presentation carbine and not an experimental
It was given to Vincent Blair, who was in the office of the comptroller at Inland during the war.

Was there a green chamber flag with it?

No chamber flag.  I was given no information by the seller.   I would love a copy of your write-up.
