1933 SA 1903

[mrandig]

Hi All:

I recently picked up a SA 1903 from an estate auction. I wasn't able to really get a good idea from the seller about what was being sold , but decided to roll the dice anyways. Now that the dice has been rolled, and said rifle is in my paws, what exactly did I get?

I can tell from the S/N (#1428271) the rifle would be from 1933, which would match the barrel.

The stock is in really good shape, but has been sporterized (I hate that). It has only one cartouche which is a barely visible "RA??"; no other markings. I'm not 100% sure that this is the correct stock for the your produced.

I couldn't make out any marks on the bolt body, which has a really chalky black coating (parkerized or paint?). The is a "u" stamp on the front brand. Finally, this has a Marbles rear sight, which I'm assuming is an aftermarket upgrade.

Anybody got any thoughts on this one? Is it worth anything? I was thinking about replacing the stock, rear sights, etc., so it would be closer to factory original.

Thanks in advance

Mark
