Thai marked 1903s

[Rick the Librarian]

I agree with JGaynor - the only way the Thai rifles could date to WWII is if they received captured M1903s from the Philippines or some other source through their (then) allies, the Japanese.

My Chinese Mauser and Nambu type 14 have the same markings as this one: Nambu World: Showa 19.6 Nationalist Chinese Marked Type 94
I presumed the information on Teri's WWII Japanese Handgun Website "Nambu World" was correct.

Identical markings on my Chinese Mauser and my Japanese Nambu Type 14. If these markings arent of the Chinese Nationalist Army as mentioned on Nambu World, does anybody know what they are and what is the source of your information?
