Underwood Carbine

Hello to all.
I am looking for information on Underwood M1 Carbines that are in the E-XXX serial number range. Does any one have any input as to their history? The only thing I have been able to determine is that there were only 500 manufactured and they were considered experimental.
Any insight would be highly appreciated.

I think we know most about the special serial number Inlands, a few of which were experimental. Most were engineering tests or used for presentations. The War Department never paid for these, & they would not have the ordnance acceptance markings.
Other manufacturers also had special carbines, but little is known about them:
