It's hard to tell from the pics but that looks to be simply very worn markings.
I do not believe the complete serial is visible. If it was a single digit, that digit would be centered.
Take a photo of the serial number with the camera not centered directly above it - so the shot is on an angle. Photo software can help tease out more of the SN. It may be worth trying the old 'pencil rubbing' trick also.
More Angle picture...
It's hard to tell if there is more there or not. The focus in the area of interest is not too good. Even the 7 is difficult to make out. Edit: It will take a really good photo of the area to try to tease some info out. A snapshot likely won't do it.Quote:

Just do a google search for 1903 Springfield serial 1 and you will see many single, double, and three digit receivers to compare it with.

Any more information on serial number 91 ?
I agree, it's not in the place a single digit should be.Quote:
