    Prices in General

    Am I missing something here or has it gone a bit silly for these MkIII's apart from them not making them anymore, though the 1915 & 19 would be ones for the collection I guess.

    From usedguns.com.au "Rebel Gun Works" selling them they have known to be a pricey shop.

    Calibre/Item: 303
    Make: Lithgowicon (Butt matches action and dated 1915)
    Model: SMLE No.1 Mk.111
    Action: Bolt repeater
    Condition: Very Good
    Price:$1950
    Advertised:27/03/2018

    Calibre/Item: 303
    Make: Lithgow (1919)
    Model: SMLE No.1 Mk.111
    Action: Bolt repeater
    Condition: Very Good
    Price:$1790
    Advertised:27/03/2018

    Calibre/Item: 303
    Make: Lithgow (1941)
    Model: No 1 Mk.111
    Action: Bolt repeater
    Condition: Very Good
    Price:$1450
    Advertised:27/03/2018

    Then something like this turns up within the realms of reality;
    Calibre/Item: 303
    Make: Lithgow
    Model: MK III*
    Action: Bolt repeater
    Serial No: A53000
    Condition: Good
    Price:$500
    Advertised:27/03/2018
    Licence number:
    Phone:
    Comment: Lithgow SMLE MK III* Manufactured 1919. Usual condition for a rifle being 99 years old. Has matching bolt. Heavy barrel, strong rifling, bit of shadowing.

    All of these might have to go on the Lithgow serial list as at least we know where they are somewhere in Aus.
