Value of sporterized 1915 Lithgow SHT LE

[brian]

Hi guys. I have a 1915 Lithgow SHT LE (sporterized) that I am considering selling. The receiver and bolt have matching numbers but it has been rebarrelled including a front shrouded sight and has a 1943 stock on it. (The mag serial # also does not match.) Not sure what kind of wood is on it but it is one of the nicest grains I have seen on an Enfield. I would consider the overall condition very good. I have attached a number of pictures to show the markings. I know what a few of the markings mean but have no idea about the majority of them!

A bit of background: I acquired this rifle from the widow of a vet who served in the Royal Canadian Navy in WWII in the Pacific and got it during his years in the service.

I would appreciate your advice on what this piece may be worth and how to best go about selling it. I am on gunnutz as well as here.

Thanks!

Nice Sporter Lithgow. The wood looks like Australian Coach Wood. Is the Charger bridge D/T’ed as well? If so it will likely accept the Parker Hale scope mounts and may in face have been converted by them. (It doesn’t look polished enough but you never know)
IMHO $150.00 to $200.00

For me, it's a tough call, because it's almost impossible to find a coachwood forend for a refurb; so, like said above, $150 maybe...

In this case, because the barrel has been cut and the receiver D&T’d, I think the value in the rifle would be if were converted by Parker Hale. Does it have Parker Hale stamped on the barrel?

Hi guys. The receiver is not dovetailed and I cannot see any Parker Hale markings on the barrel. Here's another photo of the receiver. Thanks again.
