    I've no idea what such rifles go for. Sorry.
    Whichever type of 03 is more desirable depends on the buyer. So does the price.
    The Value of a 1903 depends on who is wanting it. The person or persons willing to pay for a thing of course determines what that thing is actually worth at any moment. Regardless of what price is quoted. If nobody is willing to pay a price for a thing, then it can reasonably be stated that the item for sale isn't worth the price being asked.
    I often am willing to pay a price that others do not want to pay. I expect that to happen and I count on it in prder to be able to obtain a thing. I'm not in the game to make money and so I buy to own.
    Others here will be able to give you prices that they've seen on such rifles though. I just haven't paid attention to what some call the ongoing market.
