I have a very very nice example and I am considering selling it. This is one of the approximately 2,500 built for the RAF and not the Canadian version. Although I believe it has been to Canada as there are broad arrow marks on the stock. Will you all help me put a value to it?
Here is a link to an album of photos. http://www.fototime.com/inv/D4C9985B168D3F8
I'll put it on the For Sale board after (hopefully) hearing various opinions.
TIA Al
I submitted a reply and it went into the ether.
Here goes my second attempt.
I've seen them for sale online, for sale not sold, for $1500. On the other extreme I know of at least one private party sale, all matching,for $500 with the transit case.
2011 Blue book says $1500 us for 100%. Dropping all the way to $700 for 60%. Add $250 - 350 for the chest. Subtract 40% if bolt head is missing. I always consider these prices as retail.
If i had to guess i would say $800 - 1000 would be a fair price for really good condition with a matching bolt......This uses the 50% Law of retail and all and adding in a little for the rarity.*
Yours is very nice, wood looks great, and really rare. With the wear to the metal finish and the miss matched bolt I would say $600 - 800.
I know where there is one made of spares and the guy wants $1,000.00 and think it is overpriced.
Your wood is superclean and to me a little strange the metal is showing the wear it is??
Personally I think in the range of 7 to 800.00 is in the game.
Wished you lived in Canada as I am sure we could make a deal.
I have a very nice M1903A3 that I would trade with you if you are interested.;) Shop here has one non mathching for $700 cash.
it is 1000.00 all day long, but as they say, it is only worth what someone is willing ro pay
