Well, I went to the gunshow not looking for anything in particular and having a great time. Toward the last of the tables I see this Eddystone - I make my first and last mistake; I pick it up. It's serial number 656093 with an Eddystone 11/18 barrel, I see a few E marked parts - I end up buying it because I'm weak and I've always wanted one. Here are more of the particulars that I've found:

Bolt - "E"
Bolt sleeve "E"
Bolt stop "W"
Safety "W"
Front sight "E"
Front swivel ring - "E"
Rear sight base "E"
Rear sight elevator "E"
Rear sight slide "W"
Rear swivel base "E"
Swivels - appear unmarked
Floor plate "E"
Follower "E"
Butt plate - unmarked
Butt plate trap "W"
Stock tip - it looks like "7" but could be a badly struck "E"? - see below
Stock markings - possibly "AAF"? - see photo - stock is beat to heck - Also looks like a small "P" in wood behind tigger

Other particulars - it has a CAI import mark on barrel and "93 and "093" on top of bolt handle and on floor plate respectively - the bore is filthy but looks like it will clean up - no rust or pitting that i can see down there. $350 out the door.

That's all I've got so far - So an arsenal rebuild in pretty good shape - If it shoots well then I'll be happy. Thanks for looking - more to follow once I get to take it apart.

John
