Enfield Snider value...

[frichtie]

Hi all,

I know I'm not giving you enough infos to get any accurate answer. I should have some images in 10-20 days...
All I can say, from what I remember, the rifle is in GOOD+ condition and is a three-band.
All seems to be in place including the little chain/cap.

The thing is: Someone I know owns the gun and doesn't have a clue what it is. He almost sold it for $200.00 and I suspect the potential buyer knew exactly what he was about to buy.
Nobody is in a hurry and I had my friend keep his gun till he knows what it's worth. I know you people will be happy to help! (My friend doesn't "need" money, and would probably let the rifle go to a local museum instead of selling for too little)

In my opinion, they generally go for 600-800 dollars if all complete, correctly marked, original condition, and with a decent bore.

Watch the EE as they come up relatively often.

Michaud is pretty close. I would say $800 if the blue and bore is good and stock is unsanded meaning cartouches are still present and sharp. Seems to me the values in Canada have actually fallen over the last ten years.
