- Lot Description
.30-06 caliber, 24" barrel, S/N 690554. Blued finish, single bolt, finger-groove straight grip stock. Receiver marked in five lines: U.S. / SPRINGFIELD / ARMORY / MODEL 1903 / 690554. Clear JFC cartouche on reverse, with weaker {circle}-P behind triggerguard. Barrel marked SA / {flaming bomb} / 8-17. Mounted with a Model 1913 Warner-Swasey 5.2x telescopic musket sight, S/N 3959. The inside of the scope mount is marked FOR RIFLE NO. 690554, indicating the scope was actually issued mounted to this rifle. The scope is accompanied by a M1908 leather carrying case marked "DIAMOND" and A.B.D., with the blued steel adjustment tool in the accessory pocket. A Parkerized SA manufactured M1905 bayonet is included, dated 1909 with a M1910 scabbard. A 1918 dated US M1907 sling is attached to the rifle. While original M1903 Sniper Rifles with Warner Swasey scopes are scarce, those with matching numbered scopes are exceedingly scarce. This is a wonderful chance to obtain a great WWI 1903 Sniper with a matching scope and a full complement of accessories.

All margins remain clear and crisp. Mechanically functional, with a very good bore with some frosting in the grooves. Scope with relatively clear optics and scattered bubbles. Stock with numerous handling marks, dings and mars. Bayonet about fine, scabbard, scope case, scope tool and sling all good to very good. A wonderful WWI ensemble worthy of the most advanced collection.Condition
