I have an Underwood M1 Carbine made in early 1944 which was post-war refurbished at Augusta Arsenal ("AAQ").  It is a mix-master having been refusbished and has predominantly Underwood and Inland parts.  It has what appears to be a Type II flat bolt marked "H.U.".  Can anyone please tell me which manufacturer made this bolt and whether it is probably a post-WWII bolt?  I cannot find this information anywhere.  Thanks & best

"War Baby" shows a bolt subcontractor for Underwood named Howe Machinery Company.  Marking for those bolts was unknown at the time "War Baby" was published.

Fantastic!  Thanks, guys, for identifying yet another Underwood part in my Underwood/Inland mix-master.
