looking to buy Mk1 with transit case

[HoosierNative]

Im very green to enfields but recently fell in love with a gun show enfield sniper with transit case. It was not for sale but would like to try to locate one. I am ok with paying good money for a decent example but have no idea where to start looking or what to look for as far as fakes or key components that really affect the value. Dont need a 100% original but a nice complete package. Thanks in advance for any help.

gunbroker.......expect to pay top dollar

Most dealers i know seem inclined to sell these items on gunbroker now, as the price they get is higher and turn around time is very attractive (to the dealer) on this site.
