Eddystone magazine box markings
Recently acquired an Eddystone M1917, bought it for the "W" marked stock so as to complete my Winchester rebuild. But since I've got it and the stock from the Winchester is a presentable Eddystone, I might as well bring it up to "correct" condition too. Most of the parts are properly "E" marked, which is good, but the magazine box has no markings of any kind. None whatsoever. So the question is did Eddystone always mark all parts or maybe not always mark the magazine boxes? Do I need to get an "E" markedbox or is this one OK to use?

They are marked, sometimes the mark is very light,

The magazine was the hardest mark to find on my rifle, brushed the magazine ends with a nylon brush to find it.
