The Famous HERO Alvin York, Medal of Honor recipient of WWI actually used a Mod 1917 variation such as this offering! Now over 106 Years Old this Rifle is indeed WWI History at its Very BEST and a true ‘’SURVIVOR’’! Manufactured in March 1918 and with the ‘’Great War’’ not ending till the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month (Nov. 11, 1918) this is of early enough manufacture to well have been actually issued during WWI Service! It is perfectly cartouched. This Scarce/Outstanding 100% ALL MATCHING/ ORIGINAL WWI Remington Model 1917 Rifle is out of a very old private Collection and remains the same as it was 106 years early (as seen in the attached pictures). This is an original U.S. Model 1917 Rifle that was at one time period in its life Lend Leased to Canada, However the BIG thing is that the few of these that seem to show up once in a great while are virtually all Import Marked with many mis-matched or well used, re-rebuilt or refinished. BUT NOT THIS SURVIVING EXAMPLE! It is totally 100% 1918 Remington Factory All Matching and Original right down to its Beautiful Original and magnificent 1918 Factory ‘’Blued’’ Finish with the metal itself other than its Butt Plate and expected Bolt cycling rating amazingly at appx. 95% or better in places! It is easily seen to have been a brand-new Rifle when sent to Canada that saw virtually no or very limited use especially judging by the MINT BORE and simply its overall 100% All Matching and Originality! This U.S. WWI Model 1917 Enfield Rifle was manufactured by Remington Arms in March of 1918 and clearly shows its magnificence in the contrast of its deep rich Remington Factory blue finish and the un-touched deep rich ‘’reddish brown’’ walnut wood set plus a rarely ever found mint bore! * Wood Set: Also, even in this area this Historical WWI Rifle remains absolutely beautiful and other than a few minor storage/handling marks the entire Walnut Wood Set rates near MINT and MINTY! To help truly understand the rarity of this rifle be sure to Carefully read and Note all the following. Both stock and its 2 hand guards match absolutely perfect in all respects, (wood, grain, color fit and finish), all easily seen original to each other and to this rifle. The Stock itself is perfectly Remington ‘’R’’ marked on its front end! Also, it has perfect, deep, sharp and crisp ‘’EAGLE HEAD’’ Proofs on the bottom forearm in front of the trigger housing and the lower grip area! It is also ‘’EAGLE HEAD’’ Proofed and early ‘’P’’ Proofed! ALL markings are absolutely perfect! PLUS, as stated above, perfectly cartouched with its extra Historical Canadian ‘’BROAD ARROW in C’’ proofing on its right side top rear corner of the Butt Stock! *Accessories: As stated this magnificent WWI Model 1917 Remington comes complete with its original WWI ‘’KERR’’ Khaki colored canvassling that rates Excellent!
