SRS Request Springfield M1903 SN 1,256,203
Appears all original by the description, Springfield M1903 sn 1,256,203. I have not physically examined this rifle yet but it is in family hands, my cousin's, and I will have a chance in May to examine it. My cousin will be keeping it as it came out of his dad's collection, my uncle passed away (non COVID) in March 2020. The rifle may have been in the family since the 1920's, both my grandfather and his brother, a WWI veteran, were NRA members and my great uncle's guns went to my grandfather when my Great Uncle Albert passed away in the 1970's and when grandpa passed in 1987 his guns went to my uncle.
I love family guns, I'm the current keeper of many of them, I have my grandfathers WWII era SA M1 Garand which was a DCM sales rifle and also my dad's Type III NM M1 he purchased at the National Matches in 1963 when he was in the Marine Corps.
Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.
Here's 1st. Lt. Albert Scott, USA in France 1918, I really hope it's his rifle...
