The cut-out is not that uncommon, but the device actually is. I'm guessing something around 6 bills as is, but other can chime-in. What's the S/N range?

As disclosed, the receiver number range is in the good range, so that up's my estimate to 8 bills depending on close hand inspection. Others can chime in....

If all matching and outside of the 800,000 serial range, I would concure 800-1000

Our American friends would go a little crazy for that rifle.

it looks great and if I had some spare cash, I might put in an offer for it!!!

From what we can see the stock isn't original (no grasping grooves) and it has the WW2 vintage 03A3 cross pins rather than the screws. The cutoff is a WW2 era "R" marked Remington made replacement. The handguard appears to be a replacement as well. Look for other "R" marked replacement parts. There is no special premium for a MkI rifle unless all parts are original. Assuming that the barrel is still tight w/o excessive wear at the muzzle and throat, $800-$1000 is probably a realistic price range.
