Thank you for responding. Do you have any insight as to what the fancy wave 'final inspector' cartouche is exactly? Does this refer to a specific individual?

In as much as this legend infers:

This rifle is marked <strange symbol> <C - Month?> <X - Again, month?> <X - Year?> <3 - Assembly?>

Or am I looking at XX – 1951? Does this seem reasonable given such a high serial number of 172975 ?

To all,

I have looked at the following page https://www.remingtonsociety.org/manufacture-dates/ and am having no luck pinning this rifle down. Would you all be so kind as to decipher the markings?
