J5 bolt in serial #1214356 ?

[218bee]

Mr. Beard.....A co-worker just picked up a beautiful 1903, serial # 1214356.

It wears all contemporary parts, but has a J5 bolt (marked on safety lug). According to the chart, this is a bit early....The rifle's finish matches pefectly on all major parts, and it wears an 11-20 SA barrel.

Could this bolt be original to the rifle?.....I doubt it's a NM rifle, as there are no NM parts on it.....but I have no access to SRS records..

Any help would be appreciated.

regards
