    There was only 10K SIAM rifles made so they are rather rare. As said by others ridden hard put away wet so how many are left. There is a value in there as there are no spare parts except stripping a rifle to make one better one. If you just want a shooter why invest more money into rebuilding it to Military specs.

    We have quite a few of them here in New Zealandicon and they regularly turn up for sale at auctions (including bayonets) which have a Steel rather than leather scabbard

    Those scabbards were made in country to replace the rotted leather scabbards, weren't they? I haven't seen one in the real here.
