I am only a little bit of a Garand guy .. But that Scope mount will not go on a garand the way it sits ... or it is missing pcs

the M1 Garand info via .....wikipedia.org/wiki/M1_Garand

In service 1936–1958 (as the standard U.S. service rifle)
1940s–present (other countries)

So you have a scope mount that was made 4 years before the M1 Garand went into production

Williams arms has a M1 Garand C up for sale .... and it does not look like that

The M1C uses a 2 piece mounting system; the part with the scope rings shown in the pics and the other which is a rail type fitting that is secured to the receiver by mounting screws. Both parts are serialized to the rifle, but they tended to get mixed up in service use.

The M1C mounts jumped in price after the US CMP released a number of M1C rifles without mounts.

M1C rifles were made within known serial number ranges.

The Garand @ william arms is a M1D

From what I have read, the serial number is the range of numbers used. M1c selected from the group 3,100,000 to 3,800,000. So...

Based on this really isn't possible to counterfeit an M1C rifle which doesn't fall within specific serial number ranges.

Interestingly, M1C receivers were drilled and tapped for the Griffin and Howe mounts before being heat treated. On balance the M1D was a better option for a Garand based sniper rifle, altho both models have their built in limitations with their offset scope mounts. And forget about accuracy with the sloppy fitting flash hiders.

The M1903A4 Springfield was a better sniper rifle overall, but it suffered from the use of the flimsy and low powered Weaver 330 scope which was the best available at the time.

You're missing the base that mounts onto the receiver... don't expect a winfall with half of it missing.

The date on the mount is the patent date, it has nothing to do with the date of manufacture.

10 years ago I paid $450 USD for a complete M1C mount. That was before the CMP released a quantity of M1C rifles and receivers without mounts. That made for a huge jump in prices.

The M1D is the one you find in Canada. Norway surplus M1D's and the Danish M1D's came here. Most of the Danish guns ended up
as parts kits and sold to the American's.
Districorp only listed them for about two weeks , then made parts kits. They sold the scopes, mounts and flash hider's as a set from
these kits. The guns from Norway didn't have the scopes or flash hider's , they all went to America.
I have 11 M1d's complete
