Found A P17 - Questions

[oldfoneguy]

Seeing as you are new to these rifles here is a link with detailed information about their history that I pirated from the Remington Society website that you may find interesting.
The Story of Eddystone Remington Society of America

Any US Model 1917 is worth owning especially if it is in good condition. If you decide to go take a look at it let the condition of the rifle be your guide. A rusty piece of junk is worthless and should be priced accordingly. If the rifle is in good useable condition it will probably sell itself on its merits.

The article above states that Eddystone had an average high daily production of 5,000 rifles with production starting on September 17 1917. With a little math you can approximate the month and day your rifle was made. Not an exact science but as close as we can get 101 years down the line. Good luck and let us know if you buy it. - Bill
