  • Description:

    SN 171666 is an Eddystone Pattern 14 303 rifle.  This Enfield shows a light corroded but sound shootable bore.  The rifle is mounted with a correct "Fat Boy" Eddystone stock.  The finish is overall brown/blue with sound markings.  This rifle shows a stock disk marked to a WWII RAF unit.  The disk appears to indicate the following information -  1940, SHQ (Squadron Head Quarters, Ben (Benson - The Base for Photographic Reconnaissance). 85 for the rifle issue number.  This P-14 is mounted with an Airforce blue web sling.  If the risk information is correct the Benson issue is signifigant as this unit gathered important intelligence during WW2.  A nice Pattern 14 variation.
