A mint unfired 42 Maltby, Trying to value it

[Roy W]

It would be several thousand pounds here in the UK, considering I've seen the odd unfired '55 dated Mk2 selling for £1500+ in the UK.

I don't think it would to be honest. The website 'By Sword by Musket' has a Savage Lend Lease, mint unused condition for £965

The Irish Contract No.4 Mk2's go for £1000. Those sat on dealers racks for £1500 don't sell.

I would say max value of this rifle is £1k in the UK. Why would anyone spend several thousand pounds on it, when they could get a No.4 T (Less Telescope) Rifle for less, or a No.4T for £3500 upwards/
