Go to Culver's Shooting page, the 03 forum, and ask that question. Add some pictures.

Saw a 1919 1903 in a shop here in Colorado Springs last week, it was going for $2,000 or so, but was in excellent condition. The 1903 from that area is getting rarer and rarer these days but can still be found. With a barrel stamp of 5 18 I would venture a guess that it was built, or possibly rebuilt at the arsenal, in May of 1918.
