Merry Christmas to all!! I need a little input from my fellow gunnutz. I have a line on a Winchester P.14 complete with bayonet. I haven't seen it so I don't have pictures, but all the information I have I'll pass on in hopes I can get some good feedback. I know that the Winchester made P.14's are more desirable than the Eddystone Remington ones. I don't know if it's in the "fat boy" stock or not, but from what I've been told, it's numbers matching, in very good condition AND (most interestingly) it has the volley sighting system intact! When I get my hands on it, I'll have a better idea of what of what I'm looking at, but for now and with the information given, what are your thoughts on value. Thanks for looking.
 
If volley sights are good, numbers match and the bayonet is marked appropriately, I'd say $900+

Winchester is desirable, and during WW1 was the make that became the No3 MkI (T), tighter specs and such compared to Remington/Eddystone rifles.
 
8 to nine sounds about right ,I purchased a win p14 all matching still in cosmo or some sort of grease with excellent bore for 7. Haven't cleaned it up yet.sounds like a nice one you found there Lawerence
 
Pictures when you have it please!! If I am not mistaken, if it has the volley sights then it should have the fat boy stock. I am no expert here though. Either way great find, they are awesome guns, loved mine right up until I stupidly sold it.
 
My rough valuations:
Bayonet is worth approximately 150-250$
Rifle if it is all matching with volley sights is worth approximately 600-800$

All together I would place the value at approximately 750-1050$
 
I think there was a segment in Hatcher's notebook about some ERA M1917 rifles that had brittle receivers. It has been a while since I read this. Now that I recall I think he focused more on issues with M1903 receivers.

Great book btw, it is equally entertaining to read his views on the dirty monarchists & colonials along with his undisputed engineering prowess.

One hundred years after the fact, one would think the bad rifles would have been parted out well before most forum members parents & grandparents were born regardless of the manufacturer name.

Tradex had some wild and wooly bubba specimens for sale recently.

Where do they get those wonderful toys? :p
