    Why would you under value it because of the half cock being broken? The collector who is going to buy this rifle is someone who is looking to fill a hole in his collection. It looks like a rather early unmolested Whitney, that's what they are looking for. Of course this one is still more valuable than the '42. Is the rifle still in .54 calibre? Lots of them were bored out to .58.

    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 agree completely. Price it up where it should be and it WILL sell. I promise. Just wait a minute, yes, disclose but don't let someone beat you up over it. It will sell.
