Never fired M-1 made in 1941 value?

[lefty]

I have what appears to be a never fired M-1 made in 1941 with all correct and (presumably) original parts. Has correct date on barrel with British proof marks (crown NP 18 tons among other markings) All metal parts appear new with exception of some black flaking from gas tube. Have offer of $3,000, should I let it go or is it likely worth much more if advertised correctly with good photos?

You should get what the market will bear. I have a 1941 LL as well. I have a hard time believing unfired, usually it means unfired by the current owner. If it hasn't had thousands through it it may not show much wear. Beside the point. Pic heavy WTS will likely glean the money out of the collectors. You may need to enlist the help of some of the specialists in this area first. take your time and do it right. Good luck on this.

A very nice LL sold last week for that amount so IMO, if someone is offering you that for it - in this economy, it will be hard to do better. Just my opinion. Earl
