Clyde;
Cool looking rifle! Boy I wish I could get my hands on one here. There are some odd 1903's here, probably came down with Pershing, but they are in AWFUL condition. Abused by their owners, tinkered with by Mexican "gunsmiths", and generally over the years they all turned into something that one can recognize as having started out as a 1903 but now are not anything so desirable.
I wish we could arrange a photo of your rifle and Phil's revolver -- as I know that (at least at the beginning of Guadalcanal) he was using a 1903 and the M27 as his service weapons. For some time, at least, the two weapons were "fightin' companions". Thanks for taking the trouble to post the photos.
Keep that one shined up.
Cheers!
Cal
