According to the serial number the rifle was produced in September, 1918:
The Eddystone marked barrel is dated August, 1918. I've been informed that this unusual front sight post is not uncommon to those M17s that have been in
Canadian
service:
The rifle has what appears to be a rack number and a Canadian Ordnance Stamp on the Buttstock:
The numbers 30.06 were stamped and once painted red on the bottom of the forestock behind the stacking swivel:
1917 over a Remington Mark:
U.S. Ordnance Marks:
Sling is marked: W. (?) & B. CO over 1918 over C.A.C.
I would deeply appreciate any additional information anyone can provide about this rifle and its accouterments based on these photos.
(There are CAI import marks stamped on the bottom of the barrel just behind the front sight band.)
