Here is a rifle I won on GB a couple of weeks ago. It is a decently sporterized 1903 that appears to have started life as a National Match rifle.
The interesting thing about it, is that it was bought by Brigadier General George Rehm while he was a Colonel in 1948. He was a member of the Headquarters Staff in the SW Pacific on Gen MacArthur's staff, and then in Japan for at least a part of the occupation. It looks like he was a pretty accomplished shooter. He was triple distinguished(Pistol, Rifle, and International) and competed with and served as captain and coach for the Cavalry Shooting Teams in the 1920s and 1930s.
