Nice.  And very collectable.

 

Mine is made by IBM.  Also got it from Anniston through the NRA DCM program early to mid 1960's.  Paid $20 for it.  And speaking of non traditional military contracts you mention, I have a M1 Garand National Match made by International Harvester.

 

At a gun show in Columbia SC sometime in the 1980s, Beard autographed his book on Carbine Williams for me.

 

I met Williams at a gun show in Charlotte NC in the early 1970s a couple of years before his death.  I regret not having him autograph my M1 carbine.  Or the box my Colt Ace came in.

 

Williams had an interesting life whose career as gun designer began as a part time moonshiner serving time in prison for the murder of a deputy sheriff during a raid on his still.
