    P14 high numbering

    Can someone please answer the following question?

    I have an Eddystone P14 numbered ERA 674xxx. All present and correct with Britishicon inspection and proof markings. The only book I have on the P14 is Stratton Vol. 4. (I would welcome suggestions for other books that cover the P14)
    According to Stratton, the highest number recorded at the time of writing was 604971.

    Does anyone else have a P14 numbered above 600xxx? Were more produced than previously thought, or did Eddystone deviate from a straight numbering sequence?

    Patrick

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    Sorry Pat. Can't help you. All of mine have 4 or 5 digit serial numbers. My book also says #604971 was the last one.
    A bit of conjecture; I have an 03A3 assembled from parts in the early 1950's Its serial number is way out of range with the published numbers.
