1917 Eddystone Advice

A. The state of Delaware has very favorable corporate tax rates. So, Remington arms of Delaware was incorporated in the state of Delaware, with the corporate office in the state, probably Wilmington. Even today, most banks are headquartered there.

Been away a while but had to jump in . All I know is that the name on the receiver of my M1917 is Eddystone not Remington. The rifles were built by employees not employed directly by Remington. If it was a separate company I really do not have any proof either way , maybe in a way like Pontiac was to General Motors. I am sure taxes and laws and most of all profit had some hand in it. But what Wardog76 really failed to mention is what else was manufactured in Eddystone PA .......and that was Jennifer Anniston ! I love my "EDDYSTONE" and I do not really care who or what was the overall hierarchy of production other than it's historical perspective.

We can stray off topic occasionaly we are only human . I knew an NCO who hails from that area from my service days we were stationed in old now closed Ft Ord , CA. always wondered what has happened to him . And all of the Eddystone alumni you mentioned meet my seal of approval in the good egg category except for that Marxist liberal O*ama loving kvetch Tina Fey. Wardog76 I would love to own a metal detector where you live there is history underneath that soil. Now back on topic my Eddystone as best I can deduce was arsenal refurbished in the early 20's and probably in storage until it hit the civilian sector. It is always an honor to own a part of American History and an Eddystone marked rifle to me exemplifies the WW1 era.
