A large number of the very late 1913 RIAs were NRA Sales rifles, but not all of them were marked. Virtually none (or, at least very few) of the pre-WWI NRA Sales rifles are listed on SRS.

Glad you gave us advanced warning ... I'll make sure my drool shield is in place. Pre-WWI M1903s are my favorites.

Your rifle is listed in my sales rifle data base based on a reliable report I received this past May. I can confirm that your rifle is a sales rifle with exceptionally high probability.

Hope this helps.
