Ty very much, I was looking at old auctions and other old threads as not many now. they were selling for 5 to 650 in early 2002 with a few lucky guys buying in 2006 are for 500 plus. I have found a few recent ones over a 1000.00 one sold 1100.00 in nice condition but with a few boxes of shells through and then repacked. I would never guess this gun was close to the value of my .310 greener martini, or my lee enfeild .22trainer non ftr, or my .577 sneider, on and on.
I am downsizing my two safes, must habded down guns. I am a pistol and some type of revolver guy. with a few modern restricted rifles. If I can sell and buy more stuff happy at my age.
there is maybe three case dings on the metal, very tiny , no wood dings. the bayonet has a lever and spring and attaches fine.
Both mags I have are pinned at five. I have another not for sale and a few of these bullet strip things to keep bullets together.
when I go back to montreal, I will ask the actual story from my aunt .That is what I was told actually from my other uncle the other day about how my other uncle brought it in, had a crate made and shipped it in the belly of the plane, when he was visiting relatives. I could be wrong.
