Inherited 1903 Springfield (in family over 65 years)

That's a drawing number...

Hi Jim could you explain that to me? Do you mean like a lottery drawing or a technical drawing? It was crazy to find that it was stamped on another rifle.

BTW: I proposed to my wife on the ferry ride back from Victoria B.C. in 1990.

Respectfully,
Mark

technical drawing

It's the number of the technical drawing that they refer to for spec of the piece. All parts have a "Drawing" and can be traced by the size of the piece. The letter at the beginning of the number denotes the size of the part, large, small...

I proposed to my wife on the ferry ride back from Victoria

That's been done, usually I think while in Active Pass area...
