    You guys are all young, huh?

    1969-70 the M1917 could be had new for $35 in grease. They weren't a popular rifle. The M1903 was the popular rifle. Very few wanted the M1917. But there were lots of them brand new, unissued, in grease in sporting goods stores all over.

    The US in the shield is shown in the J.C.Harrison book as a Eddystone mark of unknown purpose. Says it shows up on some Eddystones.

    My Remington M1917 made in March, 1918 is ONE digit off from a rifle known to be in Franceicon in 1918. ONE digit. It was in Springfield Research Service when they were online and free.

    This is from the Martin Retting, Inc in Culvericon City, Calif. This catalog was the last one in 1968 before the Gun Control Act of 1968 took effect on January 1, 1969. Officially, the good ol'days ended on January 1, 1969. I graduated high school in 1969.
