Good Morning,
I have a couple of questions on my recently inherited Springfield 1903. It is a low serial (1235XX which means it was made in 1905) with a HS 10-44 barrel. It has the original stock (no pistol grip) but no marks otherwise. I dont see a proof mark by the trigger guard (I read that I should see a P). I am told that my great uncle took this off to war, but which one and if he really did is kind of a mystery. I have a bayonet that was packaged with it, and it a metal cleaning kit with oil in the butt. I have attached some pics.
I am not looking for value as to me its a family heirloom but I am looking for any other info i can find on it and I was hoping yall could point me in a direction.
I am very familiar with rifles and shotguns, new to the vintage military rifles.
Thank you for any advice help you can provide, i really appreciate it.Information
