• Manufacturer: Produced by the Eddystone plant, which was a subsidiary of Remington located in Eddystone, Pennsylvania.
• Production Date: The high serial number indicates it was manufactured very late in the production run, around November 1918. The Armistice ending World War I occurred in November 1918, meaning this rifle may have seen little to no active service in Europe during that conflict.

• Significance: The M1917 was the primary rifle used by the American Expeditionary Forces during WWI, with approximately three-quarters of U.S. troops carrying one by the time of the Armistice.
