Hello,
1903's are really my thing and I'm 26 so my experience is limited but I recently purchased this Trapdoor. After reading up on it I believe that it is an 1868 made in 1870 as the block is marked as such.
My questions are;
1. Is there an SRS hit or anything close? the number is 31619
2. Do you believe this to be in original (though well used) condition? If not, what is wrong?
3. What do the very small VD or ND on the stock mean?
4. What does the E behind the tang mean?
5. Would the 35 be a unit or a rack number?
6. Any other thoughts?
Thanks for your help,
Jarrod
