    Fair Value of No4 Mk1 rifle?

    What would be the fair value of a No4 Mk1 rifle in what I guess you could call FTR condition?
    (Unissued after arsenal refinishing?)
    I have 2 one is a 1943 Fazakerley and the other is a 1944 Fazakerley.
    Finish is good on both the wood and the metal. nice minty bore.
    They have some dings on the wood from storage and handling about what you would expect for a rifle like this.

    I have never shot them. Prices seem to be from about 250-500.

    Thank you.

    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.

    I would say 250 and up, with 500 being a little optimistic. The 1/4 x 20 hole you tapped into the forend for the tripod mount
    will de-value them some...

    That was a joke... based on the tripod being used to display the rifles. Ha ha...

    Recently sold four Long Branch No.4's off our display table at a Houston gun show. Nothing out of the ordinary, all were in excellent but not mint condition. Every single one of them was sold 11 am in the morning for 300-350 Yankee dollars each without haggling.
