Pretty cool original sale paperwork. Wanted to share this. Man what a deal..

These receipts are almost never found, especially in accompaniment with carbine in question. Thanks for posting.

Got this with a carbine I acquired so pretty cool. Gonna put it in a page protector as it’s falling apart.

Adjusted for inflation (courtesy of the Bureau of Labor and Statistic's CPI Inflation Calculator Tool), the cost of that carbine would be $164 in today's dollars, plus $23.43 for shipping. So not a bad investment!

Back in 1949, the 1903 rifles were $15 each from the DCM.
