- 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.
