Does anyone know what these numbers might be for on top of this 1903A1 stock comb?

I'm assuming on a military M1903? If so, I'd bet armory rack numbers.

Yes - it is on a military M1903A1 NM stock. There is also at a large "12" on the right butt stock and a drawing number on the bottom.
PS: A while back, I had John Beard check out the L.T.T. cartouche on the stock - you may recall the thread.

No but I'm aware of the LTT stamp.

The markings are,from what I can see,are "1" which is 1st Cavalry, the second mark is "E", which is Troop E and the final 3 numbers are the Troopers numbers,The markings were placed here on the comb so as to be read when in the scabbard.The inspector mark ,LTT, is from the late 1930s. If I am not mistaken Mr.Beard found it some years ago.
