1903 Springfield
A friend suggested I ask the pros so here goes:
Ser. # 883xxx
RIA over flaming bomb at top of barrel
2-19 below flaming bomb
U.S. Springfield Armory Model 1903 on the reciever
Very nice Parkerized finish on the metal.
Stock has the following markings:
224 stamped on the top of the handguard, forward of the rear sight.
Just above the triggerguard are two stampings, both enclosed in boxes. First one reads W.J.S. and the second is S.A. over S.P.G.
Any information greatly appreciated.
