    ShtLE Mk V

    I have been contacted by someone wanting to buy my 1922 ShtLE, serial no 4532.

    It is an all matching rifle, with original rear sight. The only non-original item is the stacking swivel, that I added. Bore is pitted.

    Any thoughts as to what it's market value might be?
    In the UKicon?
    In Canadaicon?
    In Australiaicon?

    There is just very little sales history for ShtLE V rifles.

    I want to do the right thing, both by myself and for the potential purchaser.

    Cheers

    Paul

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Paul my offer would be between $1500 and $2000 tops Australianicon dollars with the worn bore, there is one for sale in he UKicon for what i consider a ridiculous £2700 ! Dunno about America. Aussie Antique Arms Auctions moved one a few auctions ago but a can remember the price, you should find it if you spend some time trolling their previous sales.

    Cheers

    I had five at one time, all in excellent condition. I sold off three about 4-5 years back and the most I could get was $800. Two years back I tried to sell the remaining two for $1,000 and could get no takers.
    Maybe it's time to pull them out and try again. Also have another one that has a Mk III stock and no mid band. Asked $400 and no takers. Maybe a better market now.

    UKicon normal price is around £1500, the one mentioned for £2700 has been on the market for sometime.

    Yep, Mikes on the money for Australianicon values. 1500 to 2200 for good ones. I've sold them at the latter.
