400 bucks
- Your wood is scratched and dinged up
- Metal looks good, from the pictures it just looks like old grease that can be cleaned up
- end of war / post war based on date. Someone who understands the serials could be more specific. war time productions are more valuable

Some pics of your reciever, bolt in and out would help further, and better picture of the rest of the wood, try taking a shot directly facing the firearm, the first pic you can't see much due to shadows
 
It's an 87L serial, so guessing mid 45. Could be post war but the Mk2 safety spring might have been dropped by then. If it is as issued then it didn't go through any refurb.
Little to go on but anywhere from $350 low end to $500 on the high end. Condition, matching #s and correct parts will dictate price (and how much the buyer wants it).

Also, the saftey doesn't look correct for late LB.
 
Long Branch of course is a Canadian produced Enfield No 4 Mk 1* rifle, which seem to be more highly valued than the British produced No 4 Mk 1 versions. At least in Canada right now. Canadian Mk 1* and US made Savage Mk 1* models differed from the British equivalents in the way the bolt is removed.
Value is relative- to what somebody wants to pay, I'm guessing you are already getting offers. If you can find the little LB symbol stamped on the parts would increase value (collectors don't want parts guns - barrel bands, trigger guard, trigger etc should have stamps on them. Looks pretty nice as is.
