Collectors grade?
2500$+
I wonder if it has all matching parts

If it is the one I saw listed elsewhere, it is rifle #1,000,000 presented to Garand.

I predict it will sell for a lot of money.

Apart from looking as new, it has a tiger striped walnut stock.

Just for national perspective, there is a Canadian Long Branch No.4 Mk I*T .303 sniper rifle with matching number REL No. 32 Mk III telescope, with No.8 Mk II case (misnumbered) and No.15 transit case going up for sale at a non-sponsor auction site in Bancroft, Ontario. A Garand with provenance to a Canadian designer but one that was never issued is one thing, I really like the looks of a No.4T rifle made in Canada with a Canadian made scope that very likely was used in combat has a completely different cachet.

The 90L8### series of 4Ts were set up in the summer of 1945, and sent to England, where they slumbered until sold off surplus in the 1960s.

No kidding.
Just like Carol Shelbys Cobra. - a 50G car that went for 4.3 mil.

Some days I just don't understand the 'collector' market. But I am interested in the final value that someone thinks this is worth.
