The Armory

!! SEEKING YOUR ASSISTANCE !!

The best evidence we have of where carbines served are the carbines themselves.

Seeking examples for this armory of any carbines with the following:

• Berlin
  • Berlin star on top of rear sight platform in front of rear sight
• Bremen
  • Pol. Br. possibly with other letters ... on receiver, recoil plate, or trigger housing
• Hessen
  • HE-M on receiver, recoil plate, or trigger housing
  • HE-R on receiver, recoil plate, or trigger housing
• Railway Police
  • in English and usually preceded by city name (e.g. Nürnberg Railway Police)
• Württemberg-Baden
  • WB-LP-#### on bottom of trigger guard
  • WB-S- and letters on bottom of trigger guard

• Austrian Bundesheer
  • identified by hang tag with form number preceded by letters BMfLV
• Austrian Gendarmerie - Vienna
  • No LGK markings on bottom of trigger housing, only 4 digit Austrian inventory number.

  

Those who have share so far, have helped you learn what you see on this website, which is reconstructing a small piece of American history of the U.S. M1 Carbines. Without their assistance, this project would not be possible.
