    M1-Garand Serial Number question

    I am trying to decipher the serial number on my M1icon Garand. Springfield armory, Blue Sky stamp on barrel and serial number 3458575. Any help would be 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.

    The closet I can come is January 1945 per Scott A. Duff's book. That serial no. is 3446634.
    Hope this helps.

    "...Blue Sky stamp on barrel..." Have the barrel checked. Blue Sky was known for stamping very heavily to the point of damaging the barrel. They reimported thousands of M1icon Rifles and Carbines in the late 80's.
    Old Guns.net S/N lookup says your rifle's receiver was made in 1945. M1 Rifle S/N's don't really tell you much more than that.
    Spelling and Grammar count!
