P14- dating

[JS569]

Hi All

I have a very nice P14 Eddystone which I wanted to understand it's date of manufacture, does anybody know the best way to do this. The info I found on the net hasn't helped very much, any pointers?

There should be a date on the barrel - you'll need to take off the furniture to check it though

Other than that there are some good reference books which allow you to date a gun by the serial number ranges, etc.

I have, I've had it in bits looking for it, there was a mark that looked slightly worn away which could of been this but I didn't want to make any assumptions with it.

Have you tried this site?

Drill down the Model 1917 Eddtstone link and enter the serial number.

Good find, it tells me my Remington P14 was built in 1918.
