Ian from Forgotten Weapons has done a great book review:

Unfortunately not, sorry :-( I could have added so much more photos and drawings, but 225 pages was the maximum.

Ah ok, thanks! Now I have found it :-)

Just two other pics of the Peruvian Ingram

Sometimes you can read in articles that the Ingram bayonet was stored inside the forearm in reversed position when not required. I have know examined three US Ingrams and one Peruvian Ingram. All have the bayonet mount below the muzzle. But the hole is not deep enough to take the bayonet in reversed position. Any ideas where the bayonet was stored? I guess it would have been dangerous to put it in the trouser pocket or backpack without any scabbard or special pouch?

Yes, the trigger is the one for two fire modes. Wow, that is a lot of money for a pointed metal rod. Ok, so I think that reproduction would be good enough

Hi all, thanks for the information. That's really interesting with the ex-British Grease Guns.

Hello, my Peruvian Ingram is missing the spike bayonet. I couldn't find one for sale and I guess it is rare. Any ideas about the value? Thanks Michael

Why is this a "Lend Lease" Grease Gun? Because of the black colour? Lots of people say that black coloured Grease Guns came back from Britain. But noone could ever show a proof. I did a lot of research for my book and even the British are clueless. Most of the Grease Guns in British collections are blued and NOT coloured black. There are no British markings on the black weapons. And why should the British waste time and money during the war to put a black paint on brand new weapons that were already fully serviceable without that paint?

It is bilingual German (not Finnish) and English. I have marked the English text with green colour.

As you can see in the pics, the book is written bilingual in German and English language ;-)

Hello Billy, did you get my message (PM) ?
