L42A1 current value?

[Mikehaspey]

What's the serial number?

How long have you had it, out of interest?

It's missing the hardest part to find which is the thing that is going to devalue it the most, I would say.

I’ll send the serial number over to Gil to see if he can turn up any info on it.

Are you referring to the scope? Unfortunately the last owner sold it as they had a good offer on it.

Certainly any provenance would help the value, and any digging around on the serial number, which you can PM me and I will search the records we hold for you if you wish, to give you some indication, but I suspect you know the history already.
The rifle alone as an idea MUST be in the £4-5K mark if in good condition. I would leave the wood the way it was found, mine is also a lighter wood very similar to yours.
I have the same dilemna with mine which has full provenance from the Falklands War and I luckily have all the kit in the chest including the Charlie G cleaning plastic bottle and brush which on their own can sell for up to £400. I saw an L42 sold at Devizes Guns last year and that went for well over £10k.

Thanks Gil, will PM you with the serial number
