James Howe Talking About a Rifle - 1903 Springfield?

[rcathey]

One of my most recent auction wins. I'll probably have to hang on to this as I'm building a nice little library on 1903 Sporter stuff.

I can't quite make out what all the letter says but I think it'll be clearer once I have it in my hands.

How much do you figure a James Howe autograph is worth?

Personally I think any such documentation should be kept with the rifle, regardless of any perceived (and probably misguided) incentives for "parting out".

There isn’t any rifle. It’s just the letter and some assorted “junk drawer” type stuff.
If I had THE rifle mentioned in this letter, I certainly wouldn’t be parting it out...I’d be be clearing room in the safe!
