OK folks, this one has stumped three of the more knowledgeable milsurp enthusiasts to whom I have posed the question, so let's see what knowledge there might be out there.......... :wink:
I just bought a collection of firearms from an estate. A lot of them are milsurps and I am just trying to sort out what I have. One in particular is an interesting piece, a BSA .22 cal trainer manufactured in 1906. It is of the type described here:

In the picture showing four BSA models, it is the second from bottom. Standard pattern, low serial number, manufactured in 1906 so very early production. Condition is quite good, let's call it NRA Good for want of a better description. Bore is also good. Can anybody hazard a guess as to its value here in Canada?
