This is the first M1917 I've owned and am interested in the manufacturer's markings on the parts. Not sure wher to look on the parts, but so far I have found the following:
Safety: E
Bolt Sleeve: E
Bolt Body (on underside of handle): N5
Bolt Stop: E
The cartouche on the stock appears to be "S G M" in a box. The box appears to be a bit longer than these letters so there could be another letter that is being obscured by a ding.
Where can I find documentation on the various manufacturer's marks for the parts and what would be original for this rifle ((SN 378xxx)?
TIA
