A mint unfired 42 Maltby, Trying to value it

[rayg]

Quote: Fruler. In my area it's a $500 or $600 max... I purchased a early 1952 no4 mk2 that's wasn't a contract rifle for $400 this year and it's a beautiful example of a no4 mk2. I thought I paid too much at the time but it's condition has convinced me otherwise. In general the smle, no4 mk1 and no4 mk2 will go for about $400-500 after negotiating prices. Jungle carbines are higher for some reason... a LGS has a very very rough condition ishapore SMLE for $100... It's beyond repair IMO.

Well, here' a show me...Lol

And just for information, it just got sold it for $1100. Which is probably still under value for what it is and a good buy for the new owner. Before people make value opinions they should really do some research first. Knowledgeable British collectors knew the value as seen post #24. I'm sure the rifle is probably even more rarer in the states, Ray
