I Need the correct Bolt for a 1903 Springfield

Sparta
I have an original 1918 vintage 1903 Springfield MKI. The bolt in the rifle is for a 1903-A3 Remington. I believe the correct bolt for my rifle is different than the earlier bolts (very straight handle) and different from the later A3 Rems that had a meatier sweptback handle.
Does anyone have a picture if the correct bolt or has one for sale. My rifle is in the original blue and not parkerized.

Thanks.

    www.odcmp.com sells an inexpensive booklet on the M1903/M1903A3 rifle that has photos of the different bolts & their serial # ranges.

    You not only want the correct bolt (bolt body), but every part in the bolt assembly must be correct. While rebuilt Mark I's are common, original finish ones, with all correct parts, are scarce & pricey; you want to make sure that every part in your restoration project is correct.

    Bruce Canfield discusses them in his books; you may want to invest in one or more. You might get help on the www.jouster.com M1903 forum; but, don't bother asking for help if you are unable to post high quality photos.
