Not a lot to work with in identification, best to contact Rick Borecky for a positive answer.
Here is a photo fromAttachment 101960 from my SA 216K serial number range
Here's mine, 328219 SA...
Its not a good one. The A is to small and shifted tot eh left. The lower S is horrible on the bottom also. If you notice the period after the "A" it is sitting out int eh open because there is to much space from the box to the small "A". Hope this helps. Rick B
Thank you all for your input. Rick B makes a lot of good points and I think he is right, as much as it pains me to hear. It's been an incredibly frustrating journey trying to find a Garand.
Not so hard to find one just hard to find an original one. LL rifles seem to be about it.Quote:

A rifle from the original 38K Lend Lease period without any British proofs and same condition is worth more than a Lend Lease rifle
The cannons are also to small to be large and to big to be small. Rick B

I love Rick's tutorials :)
Highly unlikely anybody could fake the aging of both stamps to look the same age.
So...you're disagreeing with Rick B? :rofl: It's EASY to reduce those to look aged.Quote:
