Very nice. May I ask what you would expect one to fetch with all matching serials, magazine, bayonet etc with all the original accessories, pull through and brass bore inspection mirror too?

Welcome to reply via PM.

Very good question - with all accessories, I am not sure. I saw one sell in the US with just the bayonet for $2,300 (£1,800). For my condition rifle, with the magazine matching, the last I saw sell for £1,350 a few months ago. Highwood Classic Arms sold one the same as mine with a mismatched mag for £1,200 recently. Mummified rifles are around £3k (one sold on SD for £3k a few months ago link), depending where and if you can find them.

If I had to take a guess, I'd say with all matching accessories in unissued condition - £1,500 - £1,800?

I've often wondered how the 'Mummified' Rifles are sold. Surely they haven't been proofed, otherwise they wouldn't be mummified.

 

Therefore, unproved, illegal to sell

Rimfire magic still have proof fired only  No4’A for a smidge under £2k. They brought them in from USA last year.

I've seen them where they cut a bit of the wrap round the action and the end of the barrel, clean out the barrel to fire the proof rounds then re-wrap it.

I'll take it if it hasn't already sold to one of the PM'ers.

Still waiting for him to get to me, I think I am pretty much up there as the first... but who knows lol

Held for Bertie Bee, pending the usual
