help with valuation

I have seen many stock original No32 Mk3 scopes sell between $2000 to $3000 USD over the past decade, depending on condition. Better the condition closer to higher price obviously. Yours looks modified from original WW2 condition so now sure how it would fall within the prices I have seen?

The rifle itself is a bit of a dog. You have a P14 that was rebuilt to Wheedon standard specs while in British hands just prior to the second world war. The stock is from a DP (drill purpose) rifle that had its chamber drilled through. Without the original rear sight, you have a non matching rifle. Looks like a put together to me. Value for the rifle itself might be $500 if the bore is good to someone who wants a shooter. I'm not confident enough to comment on the optic.
The rifle is a bit of a mix-master with the stock being taken off a deactivated rifle. It has been a sporter popped into a deac rifle stock.
The scope appears to be a decent No.32 Mk.3 and is worth more than what you paid for pair.
The scope, if the adjustments work, and no major lens scratches and not cleaned with 40 grit sandpaper would probably sell for 1,800 to 2,200. More if it had a mount.
I repair lots of No.32 scopes but have no idea of that they sell for in the real world. Whatever the traffic will bear I guess. I see many 32 scopes advertised at ridiculously stupid prices but "them's the brakes as they say"
It is a very late scope dated 1946. You don't see that many dated 46.
I like the addition of the range plates on the turrets.
Nice touch....
