    Average going rate on transit chests

    Hey guys,

    Got an opportunity to pick up an original Britishicon transit chest for my No4T and just curious what the going rate is on these.

    It’s in really great shape, little exterior damage to one corner but inside is like new with original paint and contents list.

    Exterior has 85% original green paint and the rear has been painted With yellowish orange splotches, no “chest no15mk1” but top of lid has black stenciled markings “equipment rifle” something and “telescope”

    I know pictures would help, but whatever we can agree on given my description is fine.

    Thanks all!

    Jon

    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.

    From my experience, I would say the price range is $700-1200 in the USAicon.

    Just pay what its worth to you, if you are looking for an average price then you are wasting your time especially when it comes to Enfield sniper items, just look at what is paid for something like the lens brush bottle for the L42.
    If you have found something that you want and the price is appropriate then buy it 'cos if you don't someone else will and the next one will be even more expensive..
