It looks Korean.

It would be a BIG HELP if there were pics of the entire gun with any and all markings depicted in those pics. The Chinese (Formosa I believe) made a copy of the M1 Carbine way back when. IIRC, the rear adjustable sight was definitely a different variant of any U.S. made rear adjustable sight. I do believe I can tell if it's a Chinese gun jus' by the rear sight providing the rest of the gun follows suit.

I showed a Korean co-worker. He said it was Ae-Kyung, (애경) which was a company that makes detergents and soap. I looked on the web and found this. The new logo looks like a modernized version of your cartouche. Why there is a logo of a soap company on the carbine, I have no idea.

that was my thought
Here is the same logo from some historical material from an Aekyung website. Look at the logo in the lower right.

Probably the same reason that typewriter and jukebox companies names are stamped on the receivers

Wow. Korea puts cool prizes in the soap boxes.

Man, I wish when I was a young lad Cracker Jacks would have neato prizes in their boxes like that!!!!! The best prize I got out of one was a tiny cheap-assed magnifying glass that I used to burn ants and other bugs with on the sidewalk. A friend of mine used it to start a BIG fire in the woods with it in the same manner; it took 3 fire engines to put out that inferno.
You ain't my cousin Tommy are you? Remember the SERIOUS ass whipping we got? I TOLD YOU claiming being cold in August wouldn't fly.

Not quite but................
..............I got a SERIOUS ASS WHIPPIN' when I was about 8 or 9 years of age during the middle of winter we challenged some of the girls in our neighborhood to pissing and writing our names in the snow. A few of those girls had good penmanship.
