    1903 Springfield National Match Rifle Research

    I just acquired a what I believe is a correct 1903 Springfield NM serial number 1497403, barrel dated 5-37. The 1903 has all the features of a National match 1903. Star marked barrel, bright bolt etched with the matching serial number marked NS, Cocking piece marked CV, Heavily checkered but plate, stocked marked with the matching serial number just before the rear sling ring and just forward of the but serial number marked D-1836 , left side of the stock marked about the trigger SA/SPG, Lymann sight, the only inconstancy I can find is cutoff cutout is marked with a W instead of a S. Feedback welcomed.

    If any one has the Frank Mallory books listing serial numbers a photo of the page showing the serial number would be greatly appreciated

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.
