*RARE* IRWIN PEDERSEN M1 Carbine W/ ORIGINAL SLING & AMMO POUCH- INVESTMENT GRADE-

Description:
For offer is a rare and highly collectible Irwin-Pedersen M1 Carbine with original sling and ammo pouch, one of the most elusive production variants from World War II. Manufactured in early 1943, this carbine represents one of the lowest production runs among all U.S. government-issued M1 Carbines, with fewer than 3,500 units completed before Irwin-Pedersen’s contract was cancelled and taken over by Saginaw Steering Gear.

This example is in excellent condition. It is a must-have for any serious collector of U.S. WWII arms.

Key Features:
 

• Manufacturer: Irwin-Pedersen Arms Co. (Grand Rapids, MI)
• Caliber: .30 Carbine
• Serial Number Range: 1,762,520 – 1,875,039 (this rifle falls within this correct range)
• Barrel: Original 18” barrel with clean, sharp bore and strong rifling
• Finish: showing minimal wear
• Stock: U.S. GI with faint cartouche
• Markings: Receiver stamped “IRWIN-PEDERSEN” "1765890" "W" "•U•" "WRA" "GHD", cartouche, "BLUE SKY ARLINGTON, VA", "D" inside a triangle", "UNDERWOOD", flaming ball
• ONE OF THE FIRST IRWIN M1 CARBINES TO THE MADE. EARLY SN FOR THE IRWIN CONTRACT. 

Condition:
 

• Overall: NRA Very Good to Excellent
• Bore: Bright and strong

Historical Note:
Irwin-Pedersen struggled to meet Ordnance Department standards during their short contract. As a result, few rifles were ever fully accepted, and the contract was ultimately reassigned to Saginaw. Surviving IP carbines are among the rarest and most desirable M1 Carbines on the market today.



An exceptional example of one of WWII’s rarest M1 Carbines, ideal for investment or advanced U.S. military collections.
