LGKST U.S. M1 Carbines LGK ST Landes Gendarmerie Kommando Steiermark Carbines with the markings of Steiermark have been found to usually have one of two marking configurations. The first group has the Gendarmerie markings on the bottom of the trigger housing, with no other parts stamped with any other numbers or markings. The second group have the Gendarmerie markings on the bottom of the trigger housing, and the entire serial number stamped in the slingwell, in the underside of the handguard and etched on top of the bolt. The majority of carbines used by this state have the original GI parts appropriate for the carbine manufacturer, with the exception of many with an adjustable rear sight and rotary safety.

These carbines have no import marks.
