Offered here is a desirable early-production Winchester British Pattern 1914 Mk I Enfield bolt-action military rifle chambered in .303 British, serial number W436, manufactured circa 1916 at Winchester's New Haven, Connecticut, facility. Produced under British military contract during the First World War, the Pattern 1914 is recognized for its robust Mauser-style action, excellent accuracy, and distinctive receiver-mounted aperture sight. Particularly noteworthy is this rifle's exceptionally low Winchester serial number, W436, placing it among the earliest numbered examples of Winchester's P14 production. The bolt is matching to the receiver, an especially desirable feature for collectors of early British military rifles. This example retains its classic military configuration, featuring a 26-inch barrel, full-length hardwood furniture, protected aperture rear sight, and distinctive swept-back bolt handle. The bore remains bright with sharp, well-defined rifling and scattered areas of very light surface pitting. The hardwood stock is complete and remains in good overall condition for its age, displaying scattered handling marks, scratches, impressions, and wear consistent with military issue and use. The metal surfaces exhibit an attractive aged military finish with scattered high-point wear, finish thinning, and patina. Accompanying the rifle is a Remington-manufactured U.S. Model 1917 bayonet, marked "1917" and bearing U.S. ordnance markings, complete with its military scabbard. The bayonet features grooved wooden grip panels and displays scattered finish wear and age-related patina, while the scabbard exhibits handling wear consistent with its age. Combining an exceptionally low Winchester serial number, matching bolt and receiver, classic First World War military configuration, and an accompanying Remington bayonet, this Pattern 1914 represents an appealing early example of one of the most respected British military rifle designs of the twentieth century.
