Hi everyone,

I inherited a couple Lee Enfields, and no longer use them. Rather than let them sit, I may sell them, but it partly depends on the value, to be honest. They have a sentimental value to me but my storage space is limited. Any advice is appreciated!

First, an SMLE .303, 1916 in very good conditions, the pictures will tell the tale.

Second, a Mk4 .22 calibre;

The 303 has a matching bolt. I also have a bayonet, a leather hood for protecting the muzzle and foresight, and a metal protector for the foresight as well. No idea what they're worth.
The .22 bolt is not matching, but the wood is in very nice condition. It's a different rifle to shoot, given the size and weight, then a very small bang when it fires.
 
I honestly have no idea of the history, other than my Dad owned these. He had a large collection, was an avid and accomplished target shooter, as well as firearms examiner for the RCMP.
He certainly knew his firearms! But what work if any was done, I have no idea. Sadly he passed away 12 years ago.

It doesn't appear to be sanded in any way. Refinished? I have no idea.

BTW, both of these are Broad Arrow marked.

The 1916 has been refinished. But it looks great. With the bayo and repro accessories I would think $900 would be a fair number if it has all matching numbers.
