US rifles are marked

Sorry, I'm a relative newbie when it comes to these rifles. Are you saying that M1917 rifles should all have a makers mark on the sling swivels (and by sling swivel I mean the part that the sling goes through, not the base). My J.C. Harrison P-17 The American Enfield book shows that Remington and Winchester sling swivel (front and back) are unmarked. Would the British contract P14 rifles have required makers marks on the sling swivel, but perhaps that may not have been necessary for the M1917 rifles?
