Today I bought 5 m1 carbines, all Grade 1 that were used by the detroit police department.
The carbines I purchased are as follows;
Irwin Peterson flip sight, no bayonet lug
Inland flip sight, no bayonet lug
Saginaw flip sight, no bayonet lug
Rock-ola Adjustable rear w/bayonet lug
Winchester adjustable rear w/bayonet lug
I paid $3000.00 for all of these as a group, which basically means I spent around $600.00 per carbine. These all have verious D.P.D. markings on them, how bad will it hurt their value?
TIA

But, some of them may be still be worth quite a bit; it depends upon originality & condition. I can't tell that without seeing them.
As shooters, condition is most important. The biggest factor would be the quality of the bore & the muzzle wear measurement.

Agree, the markings would decrease the value to a collector.
