Model 1897 Military Rifle
Posted: Fri Dec 14, 2018 9:11 am
Merry Christmas to all!
At a small local estate auction, I bought what I believe to be a "Model 1897 Military Rifle" based on "The History of Remington Firearms" by Roy Marcot.
My question is this: Should there be a serial number on it? There aren't many markings at all. The normal stuff on the top tang, an "H" just forward of the trigger guard, and two large "3"s in the wood just forward of the "H".
Thanks for any guidance,
Doug
