I recently purchased a 1943 Remington M1903A3 and I'm hoping this great community can help me identify it more-accurately. Specifically, there are some odd markings throughout besides ones that clearly indicate most if not all parts are Remington-made.
Regarding the stock cartouche (or lack thereof) I'm curious as to why there are no arsenal, inspector or "cross canon" cartouches present. Could this rifle have been a bring back from the war? Could it have not needed rebuilding and therefore no arsenal or inspector cartouche was necessary? I believe the stock to be original, based on what I can see for myself, but any confirmation would be greatly appreciated!
How likely is it that this rifle is correct and/or original? What would you estimate the value is in dollars in today's market?
I've taken as detailed pictures as I can! See below ...
