Hi, I hope someone here can point me in the right direction. My Father was a MoMM on a destoryer through out WWII (Pacific). He used to speak fondly of the 1903 he used to use for shark detail (I guess he would scan the waters for sharks while crew members were swimming)
My Son, he and I were planing on running down to CMPto get one a few years back when he took I'll and died very soon after. My Son and I have decided to resume the quest in his honour but have a few questions...
Knowing I will never be able to know for sure, what likely would he have been using? I assume an 1903a3. Where there Navy marked specific guns? Would I be able to find one of proper vintage and in serviceable condition with out breaking the bank?
Any pointer would be greatly appreiciated.
Thanks,
SeanInformation
