I understand that these where manufactured in Mark 1,2 & 3
There are no markings showing what model
Its in good condition bore is very clean, no rust on gun, wood has quite a few marks and scratches on bottom
Barrel is 28 3/8" long gun must weigh 11 lbs
Owner just wants me to make a offer he is a long time friend and I want to be fair, he has owned gun for 35 years + and he bought it from a friend and has never fired it.
Will shoot it on weekend if I can still focus my old eyes on these aperture sights
any idea on valueView attachment 183131

I could be wrong, but I think that the only way you can tell the difference between a 12/15 and a 15 is by the serial #, the 12/15 has a "P" suffix or prefix, can't remember which, the rear sight may also be different between the two. Both are very nice rifles, I think the 12/15 is a little more scarce. Value is a tough one, I don't think I'd sell my 12/15 for less than $750, $800, but I could be way out on that, I haven't been following the prices lately. By the sight, I think yours is a 12/15, not a 15.

It is not an International. It is a 12/15. Have a look on the rifleman.org.uk site to see the difference. I would concur that $700 - $800 would be fair as it looks in very good condition. I would think an International would be worth over $1k.
 
yup, 12/15. Great rifle worth anywhere from $500-$750 depending on condition and seller. that one looks to be in the 6-$700 value range.

Martini Internationals are huge, much bigger than that and usually with much more complex sights and a larger receiver, and usually sell for over a thousand bucks.

I've owned both and honestly they both shot about as good as the other.
 
About 40 yrs ago, I had a international IUS, ad put it on a small guns show table in Alberta and slapped a "I don't care if I sell it" price of 600.oo on it , First gun sold at the show.
When that happens you know you priced it right(cheap)
As stated the international is a different gun than this one
 
I now own a BSA International. It is huge, weighs a ton, plus it has a big long vintage scope. I will post some pics when I get it to the house. Interesting, but not my line of interest.

Deaner got his hands on it, so it's gone to his pile! :p We determined that it is a MKII. It wears a Lyman 8x Junior Targetspot scope.
