    Enfield No5 Trials

    I think I managed to score a special rifle. Based on the little research I found it looks to be a Lee Enfield No5 D5E 171/X/8 grenade trials rifle which was to be the No5 MkII? Seems last year Poulins had one in their auction from the estate of Bob Faris with an estimated price of $5,500-$7,500. Can anyone confirm this is what I have and if so is the value really that high? The condition is great. Bore is shiny and bright. Matching band, stock, and bolt. Many parts are M47 marked. There is no import mark that I can find.

    Below is a link to the Poulin listing. Says there it was passed.

    BRITISH NO. 5 GRENADE TRIALS BOLT ACTION RIFLE.

    However proxibid link shows sold $3,750
