1903 National Match

[cj556]

Found this one the other day at Cabelas labeled simply as a 1903 Springfield. Through some help the guns serial number came up as a legitimate national match being sold in 1939 to an enlisted man in the 7th NY infantry. Barrel is star gauged, stock has correct drawing numbers and buttplate.

Did the plaque bring a premium?

Yes a couple hundred over what they had 03A3s priced at

But less than a national match? Like to see someone get ahead.

About half what a properly described NM would bring at auction

Awesome find!

Sweet! I bet that came from the same collection that the gem I found there came from. Going to post about that shortly.
