    Have you got side shots of the rear sight? Something looks like it needs clarifying about it.
    Also, in 5th image looks like it has bayonet band wear and dirt?
    Have you got an overhead shot of the nose of the stock showing the band impression?

      RN/S marked unstaked rear sight base and RN peep. No type 2 or 3 band impression on the stock nose. Front NN sight, no service marks, finish does not match the Underwood barrel. Single punch on the barrel top about 6" behind the front sight.

        RN is a clean maker of sights, but side shots would clarify what makes people say, hmmm, are we sure about that?
        Especially when image 5 shows grime from the barrel band that appears to be where a type III band has been.
        Have shots of those to confirm or is it something you'd rather not show about the Carbine?
        Thanks for any info. But it makes a difference to other buyers.

          This carbine is deserving of a proper photo spread. But as you know, that takes time. It's on the list.

            It might deserve one, but it doesn't take but a few minutes to snap a couple shots. The ones you've already provided aren't photo album worthy, so something quick and simple like that would be great. Those shots would solidify the Carbine. Seems odd they aren't included when they are what Carbine people look for specifically.

              Maybe it was the way the picture was taken, but the bolt looks like parkerized finish rather than expected DuLite finish. I also think the barrel may have had a type 3 band on it at one time. Need to clean the barrel and take a better picture.

                  I agree on the type III band barrel marks and parked bolt.
