M1917 Eddystone Bolt Sleeve Questions.
I've noticed some variations on Eddystone bolt sleeves and am wondering which is correct for a M1917 September 1918 Eddysone. I've seen a serif E with no eagle and no notch cut into the lower left rear ring. I've also seen a regular E, with an eagle in the top groove, with a notched rear ring. Harrison's book says that Eddystone sleeves had no eagle at all. I have a Winchester sleeve with the rear notch and eagle.
Does a serif E or regular E or the notch have anything to do with a M1917 versus P14?
Thanks.

I have never seen a serif E on a M1917 but stranger things can happen.
Drawing is of the normal location of the makers marks. None of my rifles have an Eagle or inspectors ID on them, just the makers mark.
I have no idea of where or how they are marked on P14's.

since the Eagles mark is a US mark, its unlikely you would find one on a original P14.
the serifed E is likely a P14 marking as well.
