One of these days, someone is going to make a specialty of collecting Ishapore reworks, and the No.5s will be a less common example. I can remember only one batch brought in by Century. But in the meantime, that's a lot of money for a rifle in fair to good condition with a pitted bayonet (from jungle service, no less, not just poor storage).
I've noticed that often on this auction site items are listed with a high retail value as the opening bid, and potential buyers are given the opportunity to pay even more.
