    Need a quick fair market value for a Chassepot

    This is what I know. The stock looks decent with the exception of a crack in the wrist which was repaired with small metal oval plates on each side. Looks like an arsenal repair but I can't find an example of it anywhere. Rosewood plug is also missing, looks like the outline of the cartouche is still present.

    It is missing the rear sight but the spring is in place. It is missing the cleaning rod. I cannot see any markings on the receiver so it is most likely worn. I'm going off photos. Seller says the bore is good. Barrel and bolt look like they have some blueing, receiver is in the white.

    His asking price seems very fair at $200 but perhaps the missing sight and cleaning rod are impossible to find.

    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.

    Nobody? I know some of you guys have one or had one. Moving forward on the deal anyway, should have it over the weekend. Gunbroker doesn't have any recent sales, asking prices are ridiculous.
