I ususally run across them go for at least $700, less if sporterized. The pic isn't really enough to gauge value.

FYI, "P" is a British designation, ie "P14". The proper classification for your rifle is "M1917". As your burglarize wasn't made by RSAF Enfield, calling a "P17 Enfield" may misfile people.

Picture is not the best for determining status. Going off your info, I'd say about $550 - $650 with a refinished stock. I'd be interested in the bayonet, should you decide to sell.

Thank you.. that helps me decide. Concur, my pictures are non very good. That is the primary reason for me joining this forum. If I determine to sell, I'll be looking for a heir-apparent who lives close enough to meet somewhere and audit the rifle firsthand. I don't desire to ship or accept a heir-apparent relying on sketchy pictures. That's a recipe for either the buyer or the seller being unhappy.

Not all Eddystones were created equally. Eddystones have a seriel number range that are known for cracks in them.

I'll research that.

oldscot3,

The VAST Majority of U.s. Rifle, Model of 1917, have been refinished at least once. SOME of them, that I've seen, were refinished four or more times.
(MOST are "marked" by the arsenal that refinished/repaired the rifle.)

ImVho equally a NON-expert, a refinished rifle is worth most 500.oo IF in ORIGINAL configuration.

IF you could find an ORIGINAL Model 1917 rifle, that has Non been rebuilt/refinished & that is in NRA VG or meliorate condition, I would guess something over 1000.oo.

Note: I would exist a buyer & would "pay a premium for" a "marked" Reddish RIVER ARMY DEPOT Model 1917 in GREAT condition.
(I have a pre-WWII SAAD Model of 1917 rebuild, that is in "almost mint" pre-WWII arsenal-rebuilt condition. = It was NOT cheap to purchase.)

Many a Remington congenital 1917 ended up getting it's ears ground off & sporterized. They were popular in .458 win magazine.

Many a Remington built 1917 concluded up getting it's ears ground off & sporterized. They were popular in .458 win mag.

Yeah, I've got one of those myself. The action was bought thirty+ years agone and (at least where I was) was very cheap compared to what you had to pay for a nice mauser action.

BTW, if I remember correctly, Remington did it themselves, Model xxx was it?

oldscot3,

The VAST Bulk of The states Rifle, Model of 1917, have been refinished at least once. SOME of them, that I've seen, were refinished 4 or more times.
(MOST are "marked" by the arsenal that refinished/repaired the burglarize.)

ImVho as a Non-proficient, a refinished rifle is worth virtually 500.oo IF in ORIGINAL configuration.

IF you could notice an ORIGINAL Model 1917 rifle, that has NOT been rebuilt/refinished & that is in NRA VG or better condition, I would gauge something over 1000.oo.

I think my rifle must take been a "re-import" if that's the correct term. Sold to some foreign country by our government , then purchased by a U.S. importer and brought back in. I would tend to think they, perhaps did a refinish. Something akin to a "rattle can engine rebuild" if you know anything about old cars. They improved the looks to the novice gun show buyer, but didn't actually do anything to actually improve the gun except to maybe abort the rusting.

My particular burglarize has all the correct parts (to the best of my noesis), is shootable, merely the diameter is dark and the rifling very worn. I originally bought it for display considering I similar history and dearest the story of Sergeant Alvin York.

Note: I would be a buyer & would "pay a premium for" a "marked" RED RIVER Ground forces DEPOT Model 1917 in Groovy status.
(I have a pre-WWII SAAD Model of 1917 rebuild, that is in "nearly mint" pre-WWII arsenal-rebuilt condition. = It was Non cheap to purchase.)
