    I bought my Eddystone at the Zoo.

    The local Zoo was selling its Eddystone to buy modern weapons. In a letter from the Zoo they stated they have had the Eddystone for over 30 years. The Eddystone has been Arsenal Rebuilt. In a rectangle on the left side of the stock is SSAA. The barrel is marked HS with ordnance bomb and a P. The front sight is Remington and the bolt is Eddystone. Behind the trigger guard is a P in a square. It also came with a cleaning kit in the stock. It looks like the rifle has not been fired sense the Zoo got it. I don't think I'm going to shoot it, It's too nice. Not a mark on it. Sorry no pictures.
