1914 SMLE Lithgow

[jb303]

Hi

I have just purchased 3 Lithgow SMLE's from the Italian Navy.. They are a 1914, 1918 and 1919 No1 Mk111. These rifles have been in storage since the end of ww2 and were opened from storage crates. the 1919 and 1918 are as they left the factory with all original markings and hardware. the 1914 still has its original windage and cut off, marking disc, looks like it may have been refurbed during ww2.
What sort of monetary value would these rifles fetch, considering the rarity of the Lithgow 1914 and all original 1919/ 1918 in queensland maple.

Attached is some photos for the troops to look at, My eyeballs nearly popped out when I found the 1914, it looks like it was pressed into brit service? feedback is welcomed.

cheers
