Ok Barry.... If its from the Springfield armoury you may have a problem. You see, the Korean Era Garands are VERY hard to pinpoint the exact month. Its because of record keeping.
The 1950s production must be approximated by year, barrel dates, etc.
But from what I can see it may be in the month of December.
Frank, See if you can find a date code on it somewhere.
It's a small oval with a number and a letter stamped inside of it.
You can also google search with what you do know about gun, lots of info out there. check the link, good luck.
M-1 Garand rifle serial number 1823565 was manufactured at the Springfield Armory in August of 1943. The Springfield Armory manufactured military firearms from 1777 to 1968. It is now a National Historic site and is located at 1 Armory Square, #2, Springfield, MA 01105. It is open 9 am to 5 pm Wednesday to Sunday during the winter (except holidays).
Only Springfield Armory can tell you when that serial number was registered in their record. I have found no known PW prefix.
