Herschel was kind enough to give me his thoughts on this rifle:
"Roger,
Congratulations. Your rifle is on the SRS list as having been sold on 120729. As best I can tell the finish and parts of your rifle are original except for the bolt and magazine. If the bolt was replaced by Springfield Armory it would have the rifle serial number written in DC electric pencil on the bottom with some digits on either side of the line where the front and rear parts of the bolt meet. Normally a B was stamped after the serial number and an additional I was stamped after the model number when the rifles was upgraded with M2 parts. The rifle was sold in 1929 and bolt that is now in it did not go into production until about 1935. It had to be a replacement either by SA or by the owner who could have bought the parts from the DCM. I would say your rifle should sell in the $X,000.00 range. It would probably be worth more if the bolt and magazine were original."
I thank Herschel for being so generous with his knowledge!
