I saw you mentioned you have one of the rifles, my Dad has one also I belive it is a M1 carbine. I have been looking for that letter because it might be interesting to know the date that they cut off everything. I think it was in late summer of 42 but I will look it up to be sure. A few years ago I hauled a 1942 Oldsmobile B-42 car to The Oldsmobile museum in Lansing MI. It was an early 42 but the number plate on the front already was made in millitary style stencil block letters. I found out some of the later 42 cars that were built before the cut off had what they called "blackout trim" no chrome on them , so apparently there were a few restrictions in place before the cut off date. The copy of the letter I have is the one sent to Oldsmobile but it was sent out to everyone who had a factory. If I find the letter I will post it on here. I don't have a scanner, but will do it the old fashioned way, by hand. I thought this one was a good one, Oldsmobile had to have what they called "Tire Marshalls" who patroled the employee parking lot checking tire pressure and wear!
