    1903 Manufactured Springfield 1903

    Looking for information on the following cartouches on this rifle I just purchased.
    I think one is PODD. Can’t make out the double stamped?
    Thanks in advance.

    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.

    Hi Southforkroad, sorry, I can't give any information on what you're looking for. I just wanted to say I love the stylised serial number stamp. Very nice looking rifle btw.

    Probably O.G.E.K which was a rebuild stamp used at Ogden, UT facility. Some of the stamps were associated with the famous shooter and writer Elmer Keith.

    PODD rebuild Philippine Ordnance Depot

    Most of the PODD stamps (last D is inspector) Have the BA-WL or variations of the inspector stamps and never seen the PODD with Ogden Arsenal stamp. When the Japaneseicon invaded the Philippines the POD disappeared for good.

    Here is a photo of my Springfield 1903 with a SA 2-18 dated barrel and PODD and BA-WL
