    Bren Gun Saga 1999 edition

    What would be a ball park figure for a mint condition copy of The Bren Gun Saga, 1999 edition?

    I’ve tried Google, but all I’ve found are very old sales.

    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 will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Did you see the Amazon suggestion of over $3000USD?

    No I didn’t see that, but $3000 is a nonsense figure, presumably AI generated.

    We had a guy that used to show up at the Calgary show with collector grade pubs in his tables stock, I think I paid $125CDN for mine. Others online show neighborhood of $300CDN.

    Last ones I saw for sale were in the range of £150 to £225 (from the likes of Hereward books and The Gunner.net). There's a 1986 one on evilbay in the UKicon that's been recently reduced to £225 so I'd start at around £150-£200 and see how you get on.

    Thanks for that. I listed my 1999 edition on eBay UK after Jim’s reply and I’m happy to say it sold for £250.
