This might be of a little help in identifying the parts on the gun ..https://www.gunsamerica.com/98148547...E-FOR-WW-I.htm
It is unlikely that you will get anything near the true collectors value for your P17 at a gun show. If you can wait a while, I expect that you will get a much better price on a collectors forum like this one: https://www.milsurps.com/index.php Of course you would have to ship your rifle, but that bit of trouble would be well worth it for the extra money you would receive for such an interesting example. The Milsurps forum has a free appraisal service and lots of Enfield collectors as potential buyers.
