Our Assessment: This Springfield Armory M1 Garand was made between 1955 and 1957; mostly likely 1956 due to the barrel date. It is “Almost Matching”. It uses Springfield parts and all but one is marked with the correct drawing number for the rifle’s serial number. The Springfield hammer is the only part that is slightly off. It is marked “SA D5546008” which was used for the previous block of Springfield serial numbers. The correct drawing number marking omits the “D”. It is likely that the rifle was originally assembled with the hammer, but we cannot list the rifle as “Matching” due to the discrepancy.
