I have questions about 1917 Eddystone.

Are they variants of 1903 Springfield?

How do I tell if it's the original barrel or not?

If all the parts are matching?

What should I look for when looking to buy one?

What are market value for them?

How do I tell if the receiver has problem or not?

Will the price for them appreciate when 2017(100 year anniversary of 1917) comes by?

Is there any s/n range that I have to be aware of?

Thanks. Appreciate your help.
