I picked up an Eddystone 1917 today From Layaway. I have a coupel questions. First of all Did I get a good deal at $400.00

on the left side of the top of the reciver(next to the bolt) there are two eagle heads. One has K5 under it and the other has A5. On the side of the reciver is something that looks like a circle with a wing coming off the left side.
On the barrel there is a W uder the W there is a circle with flams coming out of the top and under this it says 2-19.
Finally on the bottom of the barell there is the following mark
P1917 30.06cal CDI SWAN VT.
Well those are the only marks I could fine. Anyone know anything About this weapon. It is a beautiful piece of work. ANd with such a low seial number I figure it was worth the money. Am I wrong? Thanks in advance.
