I was told this is the place to go for info, I have recently inherited some guns and there is an M1903 dated 5/43, I would like to know if there is a way using the serial number to find out if this firearm was in some sort of theater, I have high suspicions it was, there is beach sand imbedded in the strap, this gentlemens father was in the navy during ww2 and there is a letter from the military explaining they may ship him to a us hospital along with a very old prosthetic leg, I would love to be able to find the history of this gun as I find this very interesting and my friend never spoke of his father.
