Sounds like you have an almost matching Garand. This has to be determined part by part, and is generally indicated by drawing numbers stamped on the parts; dash revision numbers and unique characteristics of the parts supplied by Springfield versus Winchester.

The Barrel is the original, made in May, 1944.

The -19SA bolt is also correct. It was used on late 1944 through some post war production.

The circle "P" stock proof mark should be with serifs on a SA stock.

The Defense Acceptance Stamp eagle with three stars in a square box with rounded corners is associated with post war Springfield Garand rifles. This would not be correct for your rifle. At some point the rifle was re-stocked.

If you are qualified to purchase from the CMP you'd pay $700 for this rifle shipped to you in the USA.

If it's in good condition without significant finish wear and a decent shooter (which you should test) it should be worth $850 - $1000 on the open market.
