More like 1906.
Is the barrel dated 1941? Let’s see the rest of it!

For some reason I was reading the serial number as 1million 549 thousand in stead of 1 hundred 54 thousand 9 hundred. So this is one of the don't shooters lol. It really sucks getting old.

12-17 on the barrel

In the process of cleaning cosmoline. I'll get some better pictures tomorrow.

Refurbed to send “over there,” maybe. Pretty cool!
Would love to see more pics.

More pictures. The stock that it has on it is an a3 stock so I didn't bother taking pictures of it. I guess the original is long gone.

Looks pretty good to me! I love the script font used for the serial numbers on the early 1903s.

I've had my eyes out for an early one like this. I have a pretty deep stable of nice 1903 sporters and need a military one to go with it.
Since I'm not much of a shooter these days (no time), a low number doesn't bother me.

How much did you have to give for it, if you don't mind me asking.
