History Perfect,  You say you don't mean to be Rude but you certainly are nothing but Rude. You came on here with a serious attitude and closed mind. You could really Amp up your knowledge and scope if you learn to interchange with folks instead of joust. Because you say it doesn't mean it's correct and we all take it as the gospel.  We welcome and need younger people in this hobby and nobody is "ragebaiting". This forum will call out incorrect information if you are 20 or 60 years old. Take this opportunity while you can. There will be no more "Shut Up" statements etc. or you can have suspension. Learn that constructive criticism is helpful and not personal.  Robert Wilson  Administration 

I remembered that the manufacturer's name is Gurley, not Hurley!

I’m trying to upload some files (copies) that I have that came with an early preWW1 ‘03 Springfield that I once owned that was donated to the UK in 1940 & returned to the owner.   Note: I’m having many problems uploading & even signing onto the forum through my I phone 16 as well as my Mac. 

I wonder if the star and wreath is representing the fictional Soviet block country .

Thanks Matt! Long article,  but worth reading. 

its obviously a rear seam given the material details and crimp markings and...Rooster stated rear seam

Is that a front seam or a rear seam, and I can't see anything else but a 47, just checking  

I'm not going to take advice from some online ragebaters, and don't mock me because I get my words mixed up, I have challenges! You say you're trying to help, you say all these things, but what you're really trying to do is comment and hurt people because there is nothing to do in your guys lives. I'm living the way I ought and if you don't think so keep your mouth shut. I don't care if you guys are 60 year old men that had a better generation than me, that means absolutely nothing. I READ BOOKS! If you guys seriously can't just be friendly, normal people, and use the app the Way you should, why am I even here?! Here's why! It's because I care about finding the correct information, even if I have to go through all these Karen's. Leave me alone UNLESS you're talking about HISTORY..    And all of this applies to all of you guys! I'm not meaning to be rude at all, but you guys have got to get something through your heads about this! You DON'T understand, you guys had 50 years too and it's still not too late. Please stick to the topic.

I like it, whilst I can’t pin down a rough area for sure I’d be willing to bet it is a CBI piece. I’m leaning towards India, glad you picked it up.
