Sa 1903 mark 1

[RBruce]

JMHO: I would say that it is worth $795 only if the barrel date matches the SSN range; if the bolt is correct for the SN range; if the rear sight is correct; if the stock hardware is correct; and of course if the stock is an original MARK I. I'd take off value for markings on the bolt and floor plate, and other incorrect parts. The handguard can be replace with an original, although it will be expensive. The bolt also can be replaced if needed, also expensive. Correct stocks are scarce as hens teeth, and can easily be faked. I wouldn't worry about having the correct trigger and cutoff. Most of them were removed after WWI by the government. But, they can be found. I wouldn't sell my MARK I which has all original parts and a period sling for less than $1500, but that's just me.

Here are a couple of quick IPHONE shots and yes the 1st pic is focused on a 1911 so if I'm going to be out of focus at least it's focused on a great handgun Eh? The biscuit repairs were like you said but were 1/4 inch wide, and is the front hand guard supposed to be loose like on a M1?
