So, I think I've found a Long Branch Mk.1/2 for sale online up here. I've requested some more information and some photos from the seller, so we will see.

Couple questions, since this will (knock on wood) be my first Enfield:
- What should I be looking for in the photos besides the obvious (LB markings, serial number) to determine if it is indeed a Mk.1/2?
- Should the original serial number be present after the FTR/Upgrading process?
- How rare are these exactly? I know that only ~10,000 LB Mk.1's were produced, but has anybody found out how many actually became Mk.1/2's?
- Finally, what do you all think - should I buy it? It's actually priced a few hundred dollars below the going price for LB Enfields in this part of the world. Should the rarity of this rifle effect its value in years to come?
