Don’t know much. The carbine has been in my family since the end of WWII. I inherited it from my father. He, in turn, was given it from his father’s brother, who was a medical officer in Polish Armed Forces in the West and as I was told, he brought the rifle to Poland, coming back from England (via occupied Germany?) soon after the war was over.
By the way, what is the gender of words “rifle”, “carbine” in English, he, she, it?
