Thanks Cpl Norton!

That SA rifle falls into an interesting block and appears to have been someones pet.

[cplnorton]

Yeah those 1928 Marine NM rifles are sort of a interesting story. SA started out the 28 season by sending them used/rebuild NM rifles, and the Marines flipped their lid because they wanted/paid for new NM rifles for the team. So the Marines forced SA to swap them out for new rifles. But from then on, you see the Marines make a huge deal everytime they bought 1903 NM rifles that they had to be brand new.

Is that SA 1256811 rifle yours, or were just looking at it?
