I have just become the proud owner of a new to me 1942 Springfield Garand. That is about all I have been able to find...serial number lookups. I have a bunch of pictures and would appreciate any insights. I have not yet torn it down for cleaning. This and one more were sitting in a safe for 15+ years aas a donation that could not be sold. I got offered one for a cash donation and took it. Pretty much every stamp I can find is pictures. What else can I get pictures of to help figure it out? History? Refinished? Arsenal rebuild? General condition (less data on gauges...not available)? 6 Digit serial number (yes I wiped it off the picture before posting) dating it to 1942. Clean circle P stamp on stock handguard.
