British Pattern 1914 Remington low serial number 00902

[fjruple]

I didn`t speak about the star in circle. I found four early Eddystone and one early Remington (9-17 to 12-17) with a star without circle. In this time the problem was that only 95 per cent of the parts were interchangeable. So they marked the rifles with not interchangable parts with a star. The Winchester problem was, that only 80 per cent of the parts were interchangeable with the others so that they marked the weapons with interchangeable parts (star with circle). That is the information I got from a guy who worked with General Crozier.

Wow that's neat. My understanding was that no Eddystone or Remingtons were observed with a star. Would have pics by any chance? Thanks for the info.

Overall condition would seem to indicate that this rifle spent some time in India. It is not remarkable other than the low serial number and characters used, broad arrow/RE/00902.

I notice that the RE is directly over the serial number? Does anyone have any idea when Remington moved to the RE in Oval over the chamber?
