1923 Lithgow Value Please

[BushyFromOz]

This is my one and only complete Lee Enfield (the others is have are sporting conversions)

Its a 1923 Lithgow, matching numbers on bolt, reciever, barrel, nose cap and rear sight. I have no idea what the timber. It had a barrel full of cosmoline when received it which was a real pain to get out. I have shot it twice in about 10 years, I cant remember what kind of group it held but I remember I hit a hare from about 80 -100 yards with it when we were leaving the property we tested it out at. The woodwork has some dings etc, but it looks like it has some character. The bluing is fairly ordinary, the barrel is still coated in green paint

If any Australian collectors are here, if you have advice on security arrangement (I.e alarm systems, places of purchase and installation) that would be helpful.

I'm after a value, as I a, applying for a formal collectors licence this will hopefully be the start of a proper collection for my kids

Also, what kind of timber is it?

Thanks
