    Finally down sizing, info on values...

    I am down sizing my gun collection a good bit due to a death in the house hold. It has made me realize I cannot take em with me and the money can be used for god before I go.

    So my question, I have 2 original 1898 Krags (one with a HOYT 1918 JJM sling and other sling is almost as old with both slings in great condition) in excellent condition for rifles over 100 years old. I also have a cut down 1898 that I was told was used in a state prison but cannot confirm that so take it as just a cut down. The cit down is in great shape as well. My question is what are these going for these days. The original ones with period slings and the cut down ones? I hope to sell these in a group but will be looking at the way to get the most money. One of the original ones has a 3xxxxx serial number and the other a 2xxxx I think (my inventory book is not near by, keep it in the safe in my shop).

    I appreciate any info and if there is more info as well as pics needed to help me get a good value idea, just let me know what is needed.

    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.
