1943 Long Branch Lee-Enfield No.4 MKI*‏

[BeaverMeat]

I have been looking around on the net for my first firearm purchase. I have always been fascinated with WWII era firearms. So I need some outside expertise to help me learn the ropes of collecting.

I found a Long Branch Lee-Enfield No.4 MKI*‏ with MKIII rear sight and 5 groove rifling for sale that I am very interested in. The seller has informed me that it is all matching and has been refurbished in 1946.

500 greenbacks, too much for an FTR?

I have no Idea of the value of Lee-Enfields. I have a grasp of Mausers... Uncaptured and original K98s you expect to pay a premium. (Michell's Mausers needs a kick in the teeth). Mosin–Nagants are dirt cheap. Springfield M1903s and M1 Garands are WAY too overpriced.
