If its any consolation, I have a post war R that, going by the one pic of yours I saw, is in better condition, and couldn't sell it for the same amount walking it around local gunshows here in PA. I picked a pre war R I like better.

If a 1903 is of interest, keep an eye on gunbroker, there are several on there now. One has the wrong butt stock on it.
