Someone offered me a Springfield M1 icon

garand ,serial 2645XXX (dated '44).It has the trigger guard without the hole in it (see the picture ,type on the left). Can someone explain me more about those two types and is this OK for a 44 dated garand?
Thanks

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Simple enough. The stamped style is for quicker production and the forged is earlier. Rifle no SA 3 Million has a stamped trigger guard and SA 2,720,806 has a forged. They changed somewhere in there. It had to happen for production time to decrease. SO, apparently yours should have a milled trigger guard. But, that being said, I'll bet the whole thing is a mix of new and old rebuilds.
