Remington bolt marking

[JP11B20]

I have a Remington bolt with an 8 marked on the top of the bolt handle. Would this be correct for a Remington 1903 in the ser.# range of 3251xxx?.

Doesn't sound like it. Are there any markings on the bottom of the bolt handle?

[JP11B20]

Stamped on the bottom is an R, on the top an 8. The bolt is parked. I don't see any other markings.

No. Your Remington bolt with an "8" atop the handle is for a later rifle.
