ShtLE Mk V

[paulseamus]

I have been contacted by someone wanting to buy my 1922 ShtLE, serial no 4532.

It is an all matching rifle, with original rear sight. The only non-original item is the stacking swivel, that I added. Bore is pitted.

Any thoughts as to what it's market value might be?
In the UK?
In Canada?
In Australia?

There is just very little sales history for ShtLE V rifles.

I want to do the right thing, both by myself and for the potential purchaser.

Cheers

Paul

Paul my offer would be between $1500 and $2000 tops Australian dollars with the worn bore, there is one for sale in he UK for what i consider a ridiculous £2700 ! Dunno about America. Aussie Antique Arms Auctions moved one a few auctions ago but a can remember the price, you should find it if you spend some time trolling their previous sales.

The last one I saw went for $1700.00 +5% tax +10% buyers premium at auction here in Canada.

I had five at one time, all in excellent condition. I sold off three about 4-5 years back and the most I could get was $800. Two years back I tried to sell the remaining two for $1,000 and could get no takers.
Maybe it's time to pull them out and try again. Also have another one that has a Mk III stock and no mid band. Asked $400 and no takers. Maybe a better market now.

could get no takers.

Location, location, location...I keep saying. This area would glean huge money.

UK normal price is around £1500, the one mentioned for £2700 has been on the market for sometime.

[mike1967]

And at 2700 it will be for a long time!!

[Homer]

Yep, Mikes on the money for Australian values. 1500 to 2200 for good ones. I've sold them at the latter.

Mine was Aus$1800 about 10 years ago.
