Recently inherited this piece and preparing to clean it up and am researching it the best I can to understand its provenance and characteristics.

From what I understand, it is a Springfield 1903 Mark 1 made in 1919, with original (?) stock (due to original-looking Pederson cutoff and "P" stamp ("12"?), "MRS" cartouche, and replaced barrel (8/1942). As the S/N is >800K, it has the improved heat treatment so if all parts are intact and functional should be fine to shoot. Sight is "M1905" with its 2700yd ladder.

The script on the stock is quite interesting but hard to read. First word looks like "Pedreny", which is a Spanish name, or Pedrerol. Perhaps will become clearer if I clean it correctly.

Any comments, corrections, or additional information are welcome, thanks.
