I've realized that my plan of someday having a WWII jeep is not going to happen. Some years ago I acquired a complete original grill, (stamped sheet metal 9 slots) pretty much complete with headlights, buckets and the hinging brackets all still together. So I decided it should go.
I have no clue what it's worth and can't find another one for sale to compare. I see reproductions (just the grill) for about $240.00 shipped, but not originals with all the other parts. Any ideas? I have a local interested but he won't throw a price out.
Thanks,

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.

Simple........ Put it on that auction site. That's what it's worth to someone!

Are they still knocking out the "clones" in the Philippines?

More than a couple of local restorations around here were completed using bits and pieces from that source.

Do you want 100% "original", a "good, representative" item or a working vehicle with a few "interesting" features?

You might PM Bill Hollinger, he knows MB's and probably could tell you what a fair price might be. - Bob

Thanks guys,
I don't see a script F on it so assume its an MB grill but not sure where to look. An odd note is that the original paint color was a desert tan. It's been painted over since, but I did find out that some were.
Thanks again,

It may be a ACM composite grill so wouldn't be marked and could be used on an MB or GPW. An early grill without the notch in the top centre of the grill (To clear the centre seam of the hood) would be worth more.
