    Please help me value Enfield No.7 Mk.1 (.22 Cal.)

    I have a very very nice example and I am considering selling it. This is one of the approximately 2,500 built for the RAF and not the Canadian version. Although I believe it has been to Canadaicon as there are broad arrow marks on the stock. Will you all help me put a value to it?

    Here is a link to an album of photos. http://www.fototime.com/inv/D4C9985B168D3F8

    I'll put it on the For Sale board after (hopefully) hearing various opinions.

    TIA Al

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    I submitted a reply and it went into the ether.

    Here goes my second attempt.

    I've seen them for sale online, for sale not sold, for $1500. On the other extreme I know of at least one private party sale, all matching,for $500 with the transit case.

    2011 Blue book says $1500 us for 100%. Dropping all the way to $700 for 60%. Add $250 - 350 for the chest. Subtract 40% if bolt head is missing. I always consider these prices as retail.

    If i had to guess i would say $800 - 1000 would be a fair price for really good condition with a matching bolt......This uses the 50% Law of retail and all and adding in a little for the rarity.*

    Yours is very nice, wood looks great, and really rare. With the wear to the metal finish and the miss matched bolt I would say $600 - 800.

    I know where there is one made of spares and the guy wants $1,000.00 and think it is overpriced.

    Your wood is superclean and to me a little strange the metal is showing the wear it is??

    Personally I think in the range of 7 to 800.00 is in the game.

    Wished you lived in Canadaicon as I am sure we could make a deal.
    Why use a 50 pound bomb when a 500 pound bomb will do?
