Info about
A November 1943-manufactured Springfield M1 Garand holds significant historical and collector value, as it was produced during the height of World War II. Springfield Armory was the primary manufacturer of the M1 Garand, making rifles from 1936 to 1957.
Overview of the November 1943 M1 Garand
- Historical Context:
- This rifle was produced during a critical period of World War II, likely intended for service in major theaters like Europe or the Pacific.
- By late 1943, the U.S. military was ramping up production to supply troops for campaigns such as the Normandy invasion in mid-1944.
- Serial Number Range:
- The approximate serial number range for November 1943 Springfield Armory production would be 2,100,000 to 2,200,000. Exact verification can be made through the serial number.
- Key Features:
- Receiver Markings: Should indicate "U.S. Rifle, Cal. .30 M1, Springfield Armory" with the serial number below.
- Barrel: Original barrels are often marked with a drawing number, date code, and "SA" for Springfield Armory. A barrel date close to November 1943 would suggest the barrel is original.
- Parts: The rifle would originally have WWII-era parts, such as stamped trigger guards, milled gas cylinders, and early lock bar sights.
- Collectibility
- Historical Value:
- Rifles from this period are highly desirable because of their association with WWII and their likelihood of seeing combat use.
- Collectors value rifles that retain their original wartime configuration over those rebuilt or upgraded post-war.
- Condition:
- Originality: Rifles with matching components, correct barrel date, and WWII-era parts are much more valuable than those rebuilt by arsenals after the war.
- Finish: Original parkerized finish is a significant factor in determining value.
- Stock: WWII-era stocks often have inspector cartouches (e.g., "SA/GHS" or "SA/EMcF") and ordinance wheel stamps. These marks add to collectibility.
- Provenance:
- Any documentation or history tying the rifle to specific military units, campaigns, or individuals increases value.
- Value
The value of a November 1943 Springfield M1 Garand depends heavily on its condition and originality:
- Rebuilt Post-War (mixed parts): $1,200–$1,800.
- Good Condition, Mostly Correct WWII Parts: $2,000–$3,000.
- Excellent Condition, Fully Original: $3,500–$5,000 or more.
- Rare Features or Provenance: Rifles with original WWII-era lock bar sights, matching barrel dates, and cartouched stocks can exceed $6,000, especially if tied to documented combat use.
