I have a No 5 Mk I that I've owned for something like 20 years now. For financial reasons, I need to sell it and have a buyer lined up, but I don't have a clear idea what it's worth.

General condition is:
Bore isn’t super-bright, but there’s no excessive wear, rust or pitting.

The finish IS worn and irregular, and there are some small rust spots in the grooves of the lathe marks on the exterior of the barrel on the right side between the muzzle cap and the wood.

It’s not completely number’s matching – the bolt and body match, but the magazine doesn’t. Also, the magazine in painted green – I’ve been told by several people this indicates the rifle was sent to Malaya during the Emergency, though I’ve found no independent verification of this.

The wood has dents and dings, but no splits or repairs.

Images will follow this evening when I have a chance to figure out what my Photobucket password is...
