It is my understanding that the Remington made, P17s were made at the Ilion,NY factory and also at a Remington factory somewhere in Deleware.Is there markings on the Remington rifles that identify as to which location the rifle was made?

  The majority of US Model 1917's were made at Remington's Eddystone, Pennsylvania plant; the receiver is stamped "EDDYSTONE".
  
  Those rifle made at the Ilion plant are stamped "REMINGTON".

  Thanks:I misinterpreted info from and old Gun Trader's book. I now interpret it to say that Winchester made the rifles in New Haven and Remington made some in Ilion, It did NOT say Remington made any in Deleware but did indicate that Remington of DELAWARE made rifles in Eddystone and later Midvale Steel and Ordinance Co ran {took over}the same Eddystone operation.
