This is a 1903 Springfield that my grandfather will to me when I was 12. I'm 50 now..He was in Iwo Jima and Korea. I don't think this was he riflem in combat. He a was a Major (mustang) and his men loved him. He was always for the enlisted man, and hundreds of people showed up at his funeral to pay. I've read through many of his letters, and I belive he worked directly with the Windtakers from the movie as he made mention several times about his secret Indians. He also has a field named after him at Camp Lejeune, Harris Field.

The serial number is 1481959.

Thanks for your time, Tom
