Yes it is. Any ideas fellas?
Ray, it's a forum discussion that you requested and encouraged. As a forum discussion you can't control and direct discussion to provide the answers and results that you want to achieve without...
I thought this thread was about the value of a No. 4 1942 Maltby. You didn't believe me when I told you $650-1000 (tops). The gentlemen here confirmed it. I believe it important to the thread, which...
An update re valuation: I ran across the closed auction. No bids with a $1000 USD reserve.
Peter, Brian, completely independent of the "rarity" of the OP rifle, what do you make of the "FNP" ? My best SWAG was that it was a foreign police force of some kind, old Commonwealth, or recipient...
That sale did not go through because of the replaced parts (the sling swivels) that you didn't mention. It was advertised as a "rare" factory original and unaltered rifle. With swapped out / replaced...
Thanks Rob. At what point or what reason would it have picked up an “England” importation stamp and English nitro proofs? That is, if Indian used (as opposed to British used) how would it have made...
Thanks Husk. I just picked it up and have it in hand. It's right. Looks like the only thing "modified" is the cut handguard "arms". It's all Indian parts, mostly "FI" and all blued. Looks all 1941...
Cinders, that's not even real food in those ads. It's plasticized ideal versions of what they think perfect fried chicken looks like. I made the mistake of going to a KFC in south London, near the...

Shrunk about 18 lbs due to the diet my wife put me on ;) I do have a smaller mannquin that may work.......
It should bring a premium due to the rarity of the code / date. Some collect by that.
Guys,
What do you think about this? I've had a heckuva time finding a straight up WW2 Ishapore, matching. IMHO, many have been "restored" by the Col. :ugh: I think the bands on the stock are...
I've been nothing but fair and honest with you in our prior dealings and on my assessment of the rifle Ray. You know this, or at least now it should be double confirmed. I think you're a good fellow....
Ray,
This is about transparency, candor, and good information. You are not telling the truth. You offered it to me for $800 about two years ago as it was about the only thing unsold on your list. I...
$1000 (Can) is US $750. Out of curiosity Ridolpho, do you know what the import / export cost would be from Canada to the US (if I wanted to buy an Enfield from Canada) or US to Canada (if I wanted to...
That it still has those substitute parts is a reason why I believe it was surplussed in from a country not England.
I'll add my comments on it: Since it lacks an "England" or BNP, and was not updated with the replacement of the solid wartime production expedient cocking piece (these are about $20-30 on epay) and...
Looking at the inspections on the wrist and fore-end, and rifle generally, are these factory original production parts or reworked? Thank you for help.

So, it is unknown whether the Poole "F3" sight depicted was made in the period to 1945, or postwar? I know that the Mk.I sights with the (is it "C" followed by a number) are postwar, perhaps 1953....
Thank you, the pic icon did not allow me to upload. Our site has that feature so I had forgotten I can upload. I went into advanced tabs and found out how. In any event, I did not assume inasmuch as...
I posted one. It must be the Amazon hosting service does not allow hot linking so I've taken the image code off so now it is just a link. It was up awhile and I got no resonse. I'll try to repost it....
Appreciate any help IDing this Mk.1 Fazakerley sight as wartime or postwar. Thanks.
Update: sorry, checked advanced settings and uploaded pics. One is of an early Poole on a trials No.4 sold at...
I apologize, I posted this here about 9 years ago. I had forgotten. It wasn't the same question though.
I got this years back as part of a trade deal. There are no "England" or BNP/export stamps or import stamps. It has a tiny ".303 British" stamp on the receiver sidewall which I think would indicate...
