Question for John Beardicon and others. I just bought this 1908 Rock Island 1903 with a 9-41 USMC Segley barrel. I was wondering if you guys would know if it was likely used by the USMC. The only things that I can see that would say so are the Hatcher hole and the barrel but you guys are the experts. The "cartouches" are very faint but there is a circle P and what looks like RLB but the spacing of the letters looks too far apart to me. There are also some letters on the stock tip. I assume the markings on the butt door are the maker, when was this buttplate used?
Floorplate is remington
Bolt is remington

Thanks for your help,
Jarrod
