  1. Default Is this a real National match 1903?

    I stumbled onto a Springfield 1903 at a local gun store and the price and condition looked to good to be true so I bought it. I've wanted one for a while but felt I didn't know enough about them to make a smart purchase, but at this price I felt I couldn't lose. I ran into a guy at my gun club that knows a lot more than I do about them, he said I should go to this site and ask if someone can do a serial # look up and see if its a legit national match or if it was put together that way.

    It has 38 stamped on the barrel with the star stamp near the crown, proper but plate, Lyman peep sites, etched serial# on the bolt, and proper stock. Serial# is 1216094.

    Is there any other info needed?

    Yes, it was originally built as a National Match 1903. It was sold in July of 1929.

    There is a record of its sale contained within the DCM sales records of the National Archives.

    So is there a way for me to get documentation of that?
