I just asked my wife if we had an extra $45,000.00 - $60,000.00 and she told me no. -
Hmmmm.........a lot nicer than the response I got (and my birthday is coming up!).

Wouldn't April 1919 be a bit too late for a DAL inspection stamp? Brophy places the DAL cartouche in 1917-1918. My Mk I, made in the May-June 1919 time frame, has a WJS stock cartouche.
I mean . . . I was going to buy this, but not if the rifle has the wrong stock!!! (yah, right
)

Dan, agree, Fred's wife just said no, mine beat the hell out of me to make sure I understood NO.

I agree with Doug. I have a 1929 NM in a C stock with a DAL cartouche. Brophy must have been wrong as I have seen other NM rifles later than 1918 with the DAL cartouche.Comment

Notice that the cartouche is doubled.Comment

Daniel A Leary was at Springfield at least from 1917 to the mid-1930s. Brophy is wrong."We make men without chests and expect from them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst."

2nd one to be sold by RIA in the last couple of years. last sold in May of 2011 for 42,500.00USD to floor that before the 8k+ buyers premium. Had the privilege of handling that one, was required to done white gloves to pick it up, but knew the guy at the table so i was able to pull the device out and look it over. Will with out a doubt handle this one also.I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

In the description he states;
The stock and handguard are also both excellent showing no handling marks with a restamped "DAL" cartouche and circled "P" proof. That and he refers to the stock as"correct fitted" which sounds like lawyer talk in this neck of the woods.
And this: This Model 1903 Mark I rifle was manufactured by Springfield Armory in April 1910" I must have missed a few years of production, darn!
I don't know, I think I may have brain damage from the wife beating.....things are a bit fuzzy
