I am afraid the seller was more enterprising than the previous owner. They were listed individually to maximize profit, I would guess. It had the opposite effect, Brian exported them to me we both thought the price to be very reasonable. Had they been kept together the prices could have well been double.

I'll bet he didn't care a dash for the consecutive number thing...didn't matter to him. Only a serious collector would have advertised them in group. We had a case of RCMP '94 carbines here in the case, opened but un-messed with for many years, I saw it personally. Until then it was a story. They were destined for destruction back in the end of the '90s and I have no reason to believe they were reprieved. They could have sold those big a hundred times over.

Most buyers don't care either. I had a few sets of the new in the wrap ROF(F) No.4Mk.2 rifles and it took forever to sell them many years ago. In fact, I broke up a set at the time because they weren't selling. I bet the guys who have the sets now are happy they bit the bullet. Where on God's green earth are you going to find consecutive numbered sets, (or more in Kelly's case), of military service rifles that are 50-60 years old?
