    type 99 no series buying advice

    Hello,

    I saw an ad for a type 99 for sale, and after getting a sn pic believe its a no series Nagoya. Mum has been ground and he says the bolt doesn't match. ( no oval sling swivel either) overall condition looks good, waiting to hear back if he has capture papers ( says a relative brought it back in 46). He wants 250 but im wondering if i should offer less? if i do get it does being a no series add any major value to it? any thoughts in general?

    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.

    Capture papers will add considerably to the value and I wouldn't quibble with his price. Without capture papers, depends on overall condition but $250 these days seems to be the going rate, even with a ground mum. Couldn't hurt to offer less if it doesn't have it's papers.
