TSgt (Join to see), I think your poster is similar to CPT Zachary Brooks's poster in that it might be authentic for the future!

SPC Jan Allbright, M.Sc., R.S., I was under the impression that the M1A1 Carbine (paratrooper model) was manufactured as such. I didn't know there was a conversion kit. Wouldn't that reduce the value of the M1 Carbine if you alter it from it's original configuration?

The conversion kit a knock off. Replaces the entire lower stock. Keeping your original wood would keep the value as you can just put it back on. I've had mine completely apart several times for cleaning. It is one of my favorite shooters. These rifles are pretty much mutts anyway. Few if any haven't gone thru the ordnance center at least once. Mine has a WW2 dated Winchester receiver but the rest of the rifle represents the dozen or so licensees that supplied this weapon. That includes IBM and the Rock-o-la company!

I'm splitting hairs with you, I guess, CPT Zachary Brooks, but CH (MAJ) William Beaver also said authentic! :)

I'm pretty sure that is the worst recruiting poster ever. Though in the books the Federals are more interested in dissuading enlistment than recruiting.

CH (MAJ) William Beaver, the most famous one of all, of course! Originally published as the cover for the July 6, 1916, issue of Leslie's Weekly with the title "What Are You Doing for Preparedness?" This portrait of "Uncle Sam" went on to become, according to its creator James Montgomery Flagg, "the most famous poster in the world." Over four million copies were printed between 1917 and 1918, as the United States entered World War I and began sending troops and materiel into war zones. Because of its overwhelming popularity, the image was later adapted for use in World War II. Upon presenting President Franklin Delano Roosevelt a copy of the poster, Flagg remarked that he had been his own model for Uncle Sam to save the modeling fee.
Interesting that the most famous and widely recognized and accepted depiction of Uncle Sam was the face of the artist! It's always been my favorite wartime poster, and I had a huge framed copy of it on my wall long before I ever enlisted.

I would have posted this one, LTC Stephen C.. It has been one of my favorites for about 40 years! Thanks for sharing the history of this historic poster. I didn't know that.
