Hello, Im very new to this forum and hope Im posting in the right area.
That being said, I just got a Springfield Model 1898, the question is if it is an authentic model 1898, age value ect.
Serial number says 481758, says US model 1898 springfield then serial number all on the action.
Looks as if the stock had been cut down because on the front by the band where the front of the stock is round, there is a little squar patch that looks to have been made. the finish is the same as the rest of the gun but you can still see a small outline of the square.
Looks like the sight in the middle of the gun had been switched out for the current sights near the back of the action.
but plate has very little pitting near the top. the whole gun has some rust that is the same as in the picture. it seems to have turned a dark brown almost black.
On the bottom of the rifle behind the trigger guard there is a 87 stamped into the wood. that was the only other stamp/marking I could find.
Action seems smooth still, trapdoor opens and closes with a nice sounding snap, bore looks good, no pitting or gouges, no rust.
Any info really would be nice.
thanks
