Opinions on this Enfield please

[Gouldy]

Hi guys

I have been offered this enfield plus bayonet , webbing and water canteen for £475 via another forum I use,

was just wondering what people on here thought of his valuation?

its a 1942/43 dated (cant quite read the stamp) and comes with the de-act cert

as im quite new to the Enfield/British rifles I was looking for a little help

many thanks in advance

Jim

Far too much money.

Thats what I was thinking but i like the check before beating people down on price, I have been looking on Jaybee Militaria who I have used before and they have them for £345-£385 with sling etc,

what do you think it would be worth Aide???

the condition of it looks ok, but i wouldnt say it was mint

Hi Jim, the basic rifle I would rate around the £275 - £295 mark tops.

The webbing would all need to be wartime dated.

Cheers, Ade.

To be honest i think its a bit too expensive, you can pick up the webbing, canteen and pig sticker for next to nothing at various places and a deact no/4 can go for £250 upwards depending on condition, so unless this one is in pristine condition you do the math, is it worth it to you, ask how much it would be without the webbing etc , then see what the price is, if he's throwing the other items in then the full price is too much imo

thanks for the info Ade much appreciated, I have given him estimates of what it is worth, if hes not happy I will not buy it,

thanks again

Jim
