Springfield M1 Garand with original strap ....

GOOD NEWS and BAD NEWS
First the bad news - I doubt very much you have a N.M. rifle. I would guess the paperwork is for another rifle, maybe 5417421, more likly as it would be a SA.

The Good news - Looks like you have a "GAP LOGO" IHC rifle which would be worth quite a bit more than a regular "postage stamp" logo.

I guess you have no idea what I am talking about but, as others have said, post some good pictures, including the stock, especially is you see some numbers stamped in the wood inside the barrel channel and all parts that have numbers or letters and I am sure your questions will be answered.

"GAP LOGO" IHC rifle

Not if the rifle number is 321586 SA she doesn't...and I do know what you're talking about. But what I can see is there's at least three serial numbers included in that post. Plus one federal stock number for the rifle it's self...waiting...

Jim, I know that you "know what I am talking about", I was directing that comment to Annette. It is pretty obvious by her post that she is not up on the M1 rifle. After I wrote my comments regarding "GAP LOGO" and "postage stamp", I realized that what I am saying is most likely all Greek to her.
She does say "* Internat Harvester Sin number 4641942" I think the only place she would see "International Harvester" spelt out would be on the receiver and 4641942 is in the GAP LOGO serial number range. Just my thought at this point. I know with all the numbers she gave there are other possibilities. Hopefully she will post some pictures and we can have a positive answer for her.
