US.30 rifle. U.S. ENFIELD/EDDYSTONE. Lee Enfield/ Eddystone M1917 rifle. Excellent parkerized fullered blade with US makers trade mark: REMINGTON in a circle and 1918(!) very crisp on ricasso. First two cm are blackened. On the reverse side US, Flaming Bomb and an American inspection marking: Eagle head over 11. Blackened blued pommel with an oil hole and crossguard. Muzzle ring MRD 15,5 mm. Excellent walnut wooden grips with two nuts secured to the blade tang by two screw bolts.
