Looking for dads SA Garand serial 1007815

Not trying to butt in but I think 6th Marine Div is right. Page 127 of Duff's red book has serial number range 865501 to 1200000 as Springfield Armory. Page 128 shows 1008899 as the approximate month end serial number for November for SA. Seems like you are right on. Unless I'm looking at it wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

I know see it at 1.0 million. Was it edited or was I crossed eyed ? I swore when I first posted it read 107815?????????????

Good luck!! Have you posted in the Garand Collector's Association magazine Wanted section? They will normally run the ad for a few months (assuming you are a member). I have also spent the $25 several times to have CMP check their database looking for my father's Garand (2860035). No luck yet for me either (other than it is listed on the Culver database to an "unknown" owner and that may be someone just playing a joke based on my many posts on forums looking for my dad's rifle).

I hope you find it!!
