Consecutively numbered M1903A1s

[Promo]

Whoever wanted to get the chance to own consecutively numbered M1903A1s, now here is the chance:

Serial 1.459.715: Springfield Armory Model 1903 Bolt Action Rifle with Bayonet
Serial 1.459.716: Inspected Springfield Armory Model 1903 Bolt Action Rifle with Bayonet

I've checked the SRS list, but they do not appear as a NM rifle. However, they are right between a block of DCM Sales rifles.

nice, id love to add those to my stable...i dont have deap pockets though.

I see no. "716" has the mysterious "L.T.T." final inspection stamp. My friend has one but its never been clear where "L.T.T." did his work or who he was.
One would think a big auction house would make some effort to describe the markings.

Why would they not sell them as a package? Or is the idea to hook a seller into bidding more for each individually?

[Fred G.]

Yea, that's sort of like selling a rare book one page at a time.

I simply believe they did not realize that they have such a pair.

[Fred G.]

Well heck, would the pair of them be worth $4,000.00?

[Rick the Librarian]

If they were the same two I looked at, I'd guess the worth, individually to be in the $800-900 range (haven't looked at the RIA auction). Maybe 25% extra for being consecutive? If they were both in pristine, original condition, that would be a different story.
