Anyone know the value of these M1 Carbine accessories??

[Dentless]

I have a bunch of WWII era M1 Carbine accessories and ammo that I need help with the valuation of. There is around 500 rounds of .30 cal, 5 larger(30rd?) magazines, 2 smaller (15rd?) magazines, and an original stock. I inherited the entire gun, which was converted to the paratrooper stock, but the gun is gone now. This is what I have remaining. Anyone that can pass on any knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

Are there any stamps on the wood of the stock? Like a P in a circle or a square with an eagle? Those can increase the value of the stock. Some people collect different carbine manufacturers and some of the stamps can tell you who made the stock - Springfield, IBM, Rockola, etc.. Looks like $50-100 on eBay, do some research there.

J&G has original 15 round US GI magazines for $30.

The ammo, nice it's on stripper clips, what headstamps?

Here's a 120 round bandoleer made in Korea ammo (usually considered first class ammo,) for $44.95.

Great info there, thank you! The newer ammo has an R-P headstamp. The older ammo has an e c 43 headstamp. Looks like those were manufactured in 1943. Don't know if that's more, or less, valuable. The stock only has a "10" stamped near the strap mount. It looks like there may have been other faint markings, and someone's initials in it, but they are almost completely worn off. The metal piece that holds the strap on, has an "SI" on the end that unscrews.
