1917 eddystone
I'm looking for some information on value.I have a 1917 Eddystone that was lend leased to Canada but not sure if it was WW1 or WW2.It has the red paint around the forearm the stamp "C" with an arrow through it and also the letters PWOR on the stock which stands for"Princes of Wales own Regiment". They were loaned to Canada to protect against invasion. Since it never saw action it is in remarkably good condition.Some of you are going to tell me to include pictures but I have not mastered that ability yet.Metal is pristine wood is excellent no cracks or large dings.Based on my description can you give me a ballpark value? I don't want to sell it because of it;s unusual history but I would like to know it's value Thanks

I recently purchased a 1917 U.S. Enfield, eddystone, in excellent condition. I am aware that there have been problems with the reciever cracking on these, due to brittleness. Is there a way to check these for safety, or they all to dangerous to shoot and only good for wall hangers? Any advice welcome. Thanks, Dan 0 -
janritch,
There is really a great deal of additional information required.
Original finish was blue. Your circle P on the stock would indicate a rebuild. Original stock will only have the tip marked, in your case should be "E", an eagle in front of the trigger guard and sometimes
some numbers in back of the triggerguard. Consideration must be taken
on bore condition. Further, is the gun an import marked item?
Usually on the barrel. The small e's indicate Eddystone also.

WW11 rebuilt guns are parkerized vs blue. Prices are all over the place. Best 1010
