Rock Island Arsenal Model 1903 Serial Number Ranges For Browning

Dear Sirs,
Please help me find a fair price for a gun in my collection that I will probably need to sell. It is a Springfield 1903. On the top of the chamber, it says: 'U.S. Rock Island Arsenal Model 1903'
Below that, there is a 5-digit serial number that is difficult to read. On the barrel, there are the letters: 'SA'
On the top of the sight cover, it says: 'Watson.' Below that, there is a symbol of a grenade. Under that, there is the date of manufacture: 9-09. Under that, there is the letter A. I can describe the condition of the rifle as excellent. If the age is considered, then it can be said to be in perfect condition.
If you give me your email address, I can send you a few pictures of it.
Thanks in advance,
Pavel
