tiriaq said:They were originally sold greased, in a brown paper wrap, No. 9 bayonet included. If its not been degreased, and is as new, that price is certainly in the ballpark.
My "Irish" No 4 came from International Firearms wrapped in white fabric that had a wax coating on it. The rifle itself was totally dipped in cosmolene.
It's not hard to see why they were often described as "mummy wrapped".
