Help pricing a few rare Enfield's

[libre]

Hey everyone. I have a few rare Enfield's that I am considering selling and am curious as to what the current market is like.

First off a #4 mk.1 Longbranch parade rifle with matching bayonet/scabbard (not pictured)


#2 is a Savage lend lease that appears to be unissued possibly even unshot.


Thanks in advance

Longbranch parade rifle

No such thing. This is a newish rifle that someone chromed, effectively reducing it to almost zero value. The Savage, we'd need to see more pics and close ups to see if it's been refinished by someone other than the military. They were all issued at one time or another, specially Savages. And for sure they were all fired, they had to be proofed and targeted.

Welcome to the forum, by the way.

Welcome to the forum ....

If you want to compare your Savage Enfield against an "all correct" as originally issued one, go to the United Kingdon - Milsurp Knowledge Library (click here) and view the 82 picture photo gallery montage for the 1943 Savage No.4 Mk1* Enfield Rifle (click here).

With thanks to Advisory Panel member Lance, there's also a rare "all correct" 1942 No.4 Mk1*(T) Savage Sniper Rifle (less scope) (click here) .....

Lance's article, accompanied by a detailed 165 pic photo montage, speaks to this example as being one of approximately 3,400 Savage rifles converted by Holland and Holland and re-barreled with an Enfield 5 groove barrel, however, it was never fitted with a matching No.32 scope.

Hope this helps...

Regards,
Doug

Hey guys. Many thanks for the welcome and the knowledge, much appreciated.
Too bad about the Longbranch, a shame on many levels.

Here a picture of the receiver on the Savage, I hope it helps.

There was a batch of new in the grease Savages many moons ago. That looks like one that was cleaned up. Obviously it will bring a premium over lesser specimens.

I'd love to be able to get my nose right over that Savage but as already said...it does look very nice...

Would love to see more detailed pics. Do they Samba? LOL. Welcome aboard! Thanks

Hey Dan, thanks for the welcome. Lol, not sure if they samba but they do look good together. I don't have a lot of detailed pictures at the moment but I can have some more taken.

Hey guys, Just wondering how to price these rifles. I have considered entering them into an auction, can anyone recommend an auction house?

[browningautorifle]

If it's an auction house, don't they go to the highest bidder? As for which, what difference? They'll sell.
