Here are some photos of my M1903 pawn shop find. I know my M1s pretty well but am new to the 1903. Here is what I have found out so far: Serial number 975711= 1918. The stock might be pre-WWI, The stock has two cartouches: WJS and a later RA-P. The stock also has a rebuild marking from the San Antonio Arsenal probably from WWII when the S.A. 0 42 barrel was installed and the second proof stamp was applied to the bottom of the grip. The sight base is a later pattern. I would appreciate any additional information you fellows can tell me about this weapon. Thanks Fred
