Bros,
It certainly looks authentic and 100% L42A1 with correct numbering alround and what looks like, with the limited access to the photos presented, or actually inspecting her in my hands, the real deal.
I would like to think I have a fairly sound knowledge on this breed, and I would certainly go for it if I wanted a piece of British Sniper history as my privately owned rifle.
These rifles are going up every day.............my advice go for it if thats worth anything to you.;)
Bros,
Hope you got it for the price sold, which is when converted to GBP £7452.54.
If not, someone was lucky and got a good buy at that price with the chest and tin, as it went into circulation after conversion in 1975 totally authentic :thup:
Hi Gil
Well not to disappoint you but I did not get the L42. I stopped at $6000us!!!! In the last few minutes it went to $9325us. I have to calculate in the exchange, border fees, shipping, etc., etc. I figure landed at my door I would have about $13,000can into it. That seems way to steep for the market here. Now if that chest was filled with all the proper goodies it might be a different story. That was a beautiful looking gun though.
