Madness? Garand with serial number under 2000

[Bob Seijas]

If you want to take on a life-long task to restore it, you will find perfect data for it in the Fall 2009 GCA Journal. We compared 1630 and 1684, both original. Yours could be from the first production order for 1500 guns that was started July 1937 and completed April 1938. Because of rejections and recycles, serials went to the 2000 area. But get out your wallet!

SRS records show that serial number 1607 was sent to Winchester on Sept 19, 1938, the receipt was signed by Col Robert Sears and Winchester Vice Pres Edwin Pugsley. The receipt indicated the rifle was on loan to Winchester and they would properly safeguard said material at all times; we use said material only in connection with procurement planning as authorized by the Chief of Ordnance.
