This is an excellent condition Springfield Armory Heavy Checkered Early 1903 National Match Buttplate. It has the correct early Dark Parkerized finish. It has little to no wear on the top, bottom and inside from being mounted on a rifle stock but saw little to no use given its overall excellent condition. This is the early version prior to Springfield Armory adding drawing numbers to this style of buttplate. Springfield Armory later added two different sets of drawing numbers to the rear inside area of the buttplate to differentiate between National Match and Standard Military issued Heavy Checkered buttplates. This would be correct for any Springfield Armory National Match Rifle. These were also used on standard rifles and were highly sought after by the Marines during WWII for use on their issued and arsenal overhauled rifles. Due to the shortage, some USMC buttplates during the WWII time frame have homemade punch marked type checkering to help stabilize the rifle during firing. This would also work well for any 1903/1903A3 rifle for shooting purposes. Add this to the National Match Rear Sight I have up for sale to help finish restoring your SA National Match Rifle.

Gun Model: Springfield 1903 or M1 Garand (later used in WWII). The left ricasso is marked with “S A”, bomb, and “1921”. The right side is marked U. The Scabbard is marked “RIA / 1921″ on the front of the top strap and “RIA”, what appears to be “1909” and T. On the back of the main body. Description: This is a Pattern M1905 that was made in 1921, after WWI, with a 1921 dated Rock Island Armory leather wrapped and leather tipped wood scabbard. The blade measures 15 7/8″ long, OAL is 20 1/2″. Overall Condition: The metal of the bayonet has a blue finish on the blade, the guard, hilt and pommel are parkerized and according to our research, these early items would have been all Parkerized. The blade metal has been refinished, the other surfaces appear original, it was probably done by an arsenal, perhaps for WWII use. The metal shows cleaned erosion and imperfections under the finish, along with a few areas of erosion through the current finish. The blade is semi-sharp but there are no indications that it was sharpened after refinishing; the cutting edge has some waiver in its line. The surfaces show scattered scuff marks and a few infrequent darkened patina areas. The cross guard has scuffs, rub wear and areas of patina. The grips are the correct later semi-grooved type, which show a few light marks. There are no cracks or major damages. The bayonet is in Fine condition. The scabbard is leather wrapped with a brown leather tip and brass hanger, the canvas and leather are roughed and discolored, the material remains strong with small losses, the hanger has natural patina, also found as verdigris on the rivets. The leather is leaching white color, as natural of the fats escaping over time. For its age and role in world history, this lot has survived quite well.
