Ouch
Is this the record price for a Jovino parts gun?

A number of people collect "Pretty" not factual or historic. Wisdom comes when they try to sell it and can't recoup their money. I can never find these people when I need them.

Another JJ Co built trainer turned up on gunboards recently that was a twin to this one. Didn't get into prices but the new owner was happy to have a fake so he could shoot it without having to worry.... Couldnt see the logic, he would never wear out a genuine No2 MkIV, but he was happy.
Genuine ones are being offered up here now for between $1200 and $1500 Au but do not seem to be selling at that. I happily paid $800 for a very nice one recently.
The seller on GB doesn't know its a build up rifle going by his openness with advertising the obvious (to collectors) JJ Co failings. I thought the serial number stuff up was a classic! Maybe the new owner will turn up on one of the forums members here belong to... as usual, we need to let them down gently. I advise anyone considering getting into Lee Enfields to spend their first $100 of rifle money on a book that will save them many times that in the first year.
Unless he is a "pretty rifle" buyer, he's about to make his first big goof worth many times the price of Mr Skennerton's "The Lee Enfield".
Thanks for putting this one up Steve H. Hopefully reading it might save someone from the same sort of mistake!

If you think this is outrageous, check out the Enfield TANKER that just sold.

You've got to see this one!
I now know the Enfield world is "flying into the cuckoo's nest."

Those were done up a few years ago and I'm not sure but it was here in Canada. They're fairly recent.

wrong pic, bigduke6... very very nice, mate but not No2 MkIV's. Both Patt14 No1?
Have to agree, though! The anemic look of raw coachwood spoils a rifle

Never seem to get enough of the trainers! See how the new shoulder is going tomorrow, might have to dig mine out for an updated pic. Scored a second No2MkIV built on a low production year interwar rifle recently.
