    Decoding "new to me" markings on a Springfield '03

    Hello all.
    Hoping someone can assist me with decoding one of the markings on a newly acquired 1903 Springfield . Based on the serial number, I believe it was manufactured in 1916.
    Two questions tonight (more to follow!):
    1.) The serial number is electro-penciled on the bolt....was this original? done when manufactured? or was it done later on at some point?
    2.) There is a stamping on the butt stock that appears to read "3 GM - K"

    As always, thanks in advance for those willing to share their knowledge.
