1903A3 Smith-Corona

[ssgross]

Smith corona butt plates were checkered with 10 lines per inch, and unmarked. The neck of the trapdoor will have 7 small squares on it from the stamping process. They were originally blued, but likely would be parkerized during an arsenal rebuild.
Here is a good comparison photo

The link I posted earlier has much more useful info than just lot codes.

Thanks ssgross for your input in this thread.

I was wonder if I posted it in an inappropriate forum/didn't include good pictures or did something wrong here, because there hasn't been a lot of replies/feed back. Milsuprs has always provided great info and feed back previously.
