    Enfield Rest with layer telescopes

    Not sure this is the right spot for this so if out of place please delete........
    What would be a reasonable estimate on price of an Enfield Rest with layer telescopes for both the SMLE and the No.4?
    Not sure I have heard of one moving in many many years but with all the knowledgeable people here and with world wide coverage, anyone care to venture a guess as to value????????

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Warren, pardon my ignorance. What exactly is an Enfield rest with layer telescopes. New to the game but definitely committed to the experience.
    Thanks Jerry

    Warren, does it include delivery? What do you think the rest weighs?

    last sale of an Enfeild Rest that I have details on was through Australianicon Arms Auctions. October 3, 2010.

    I have contacted Roland who is looking up the sale price for me.

    here is a link to a 2010 forum re the rest. Rare Enfield Rest - Australian Arms Auction Catalogue

    Will update the sale value in a couple of hours. UPDATE: The Enfield Rest sold at Auction in Oct 2010 for AUD$10,000

    Cheers

    Paul

    Thanks for the link and picture...really appreciate it. I've just not had time to even breath the last few months never mind try and find some pictures. Hence, little action here on the forum due to just no time.
    The weight of the rest is somewhere around 300 to 350 pounds.
    Once I get some decent pictures I'll post them.

    Managed to follow up with Roland at Australianicon Arms Auctions this morning.

    The Enfield Rest in the October 2010 Auction sold for AUD$10,000

    (Which equates to about $28.50/lb)

    Thanks for the info, really appreciate it. Once I get it out of "The Shed" (tm), I'll take some photo's and decide what to do with it but first I'll set it up with the layers and do a photo essay for the forum here.
