United States Rifle, cal .30, Model of 1917 - Thoughts on value please - PURCHASE

[Nickjc]

Hi Folks,

I have an opportunity to add this rifle to my collection and the fellow selling it seems like a 'straight up guy" BUT, My knowledge of 1917's is limited but would fill a niche in the collection.


Thoughts????



Here is some info from the seller:

WTS 1917 Enfield - Eddystone 614,1XX


Eddystone 1917 Enfield, good bore, very good shooter. Stock has a few dings but overall very nice, (it is 93 years old). Barrel stamped "E" 8-18. Eddystone receiver, “E” marked barrel, stock, bolt and rear sight. Eagle head stamped on trigger guard/mag floor plate, flaming bombs on receiver, barrel and bolt. Rifle appears to be all original Eddystone except "R" front sight blade, finish looks like it was parked at some time. This rifle was used to shoot matches at Camp Perry by previous owners grandfather (so I was told).
