Offered here is a World War I-era British Pattern 1914 Mk I E Enfield bolt-action rifle chambered in .303 British, manufactured circa 1916 by the Remington Arms Company of Delaware at its Eddystone, Pennsylvania, facility. Produced under British military contract during the First World War, the Pattern 1914 is a historically significant military rifle recognized for its robust Mauser-style bolt action, distinctive protective rear sight ears, and substantial military stock configuration. This example features a 26-inch barrel, military hardwood furniture, and the characteristic aperture rear sight. The receiver bears the Eddystone "ERA" manufacturer's marking, while the bolt, action, trigger guard, and stock are stamped "DP" for Drill Purpose, indicating its subsequent designation for non-firing military training use. The barrel has been demilitarized, and the rifle is not represented as suitable for live firing. A CAI import marking is also present. Accompanying the rifle is a desirable Winchester-manufactured U.S. Model 1917 bayonet, dated 1917 and bearing the U.S. ordnance flaming bomb marking. The bayonet features wooden grip panels, with the grip additionally stamped "10/43 7SEC 32," and is accompanied by an EJB-marked scabbard. The rifle remains in good overall condition for a Drill Purpose example, exhibiting scattered dents, scratches, handling marks, finish wear, and age-related patina across the metal and wood surfaces. The bolt action operates well despite its demilitarized status. The accompanying bayonet and scabbard exhibit age-related wear and patina consistent with their military character. Retaining its classic First World War military appearance, distinctive Drill Purpose markings, and accompanying Winchester bayonet, this Eddystone P14 represents an interesting piece of British military firearms history and would make an appealing non-firing restoration or display project for the military collector.
