It could be a so-call "Greek" M1903A3, which were sold by the CMP from about 2002-2005. Most of them had the last four digits of the serial number etched on the top of the bolt handle and the last four digits stamped on the butt of the stock. These didn't always match the actual serial number because parts were often switched at CMP. There should be no other parts with the serial number (whole or in part).

Interesting, thanks for the info. I've read about how the Greek returns of M1 Garands were very disliked by many over at the CMP forums for their reparkerization jobs . Do the Greek 1903A3 returns share this stigma or have any other features about them that might increase/decrease their value or function?

I don't think it really decreases value. That would only be if you thought it did. An original or near perfect example won't have this sort of thing but a rebuild will. You'd be paying prices accompanying a rebuild status. Doesn't matter who did it.

Alright, thanks for the input guys, much appreciated! I received some pictures from the seller so I will probably throw together a thread and put it up in the Appraisals section and see what everyone thinks.
