Lee Enfield #9 Mk 1

I finally have the Icing on the cake , with my collection of .22`s . the ‪#‎9Mk1‬ arrived today , its beautiful , not a scratch on her. she shined up beautiful when i oiled her up a bit .When i started off with the #8, i had no idea where it would lead ,Needless to say im pretty thrilled to own what i have . it started out with the #8, which i used in the Air Training Corps , also the Martini Cadet ,i diddnt think for a moment i would even see a # 7 or #9 in Canada , let alone own one , and i stumbled on both in the last month .

All the Navy issue No9's I saw (and it wasn't many I have to admit.....) were all marked N9

Nice collection, I nearly splashed out on a Ross last year but thought I,d stick to Enfields, saying that I went to an auction few weeks back to look at a Schmidt Rubin .22

Lee-Enfield Rifle No.9 for the Royal Navy

I always thought the N9 were Naval contract and the No9 by Parker Hale their version for the civilian market.

None the less the No9 is still a rare & very desirable rifle here in the UK

Given the relatively small quantity of N9's produced, what sort of price are they commanding when found for sale?
