Ihave a .22 cal lee Enfield that I would appreciate some info and a ball park value on. I realize pics would be a real help but can't supply at this time.

on the wrist band, left side is No1mk III, second line is F R, below that is 1942
Right side is, SHT .22, under that is a I V and what apears to be a maple leaf.

Ser # 36xx on right side (bolt has 4# ser# that doesn't match), front ring , left side front ring has a crown over GRI over crossed flags and a P in flag pole x. Rear sight is ser# to the gun.

Full complete wood (no cracks that I can see but very well used,multiple scratches & dents), front sight & bayonet mount has P stamped over a K ans ser # that doesnt match gun.

Stock has numerous imprints & paint markings: red CL 6 onright side above trigger, yellow MK IIIx over CL 6 1 52 on butt stock over comb. imprint of S A over 2 on stock wrist top. imprint of RPD on right side stock.
Bore is very shiny but rifling is not heavily defined.

Thanks
 
Actually, it sounds more like a South African rifle.

One of the pieces they converted for training purposes or cadet use.

With these old girls, condition is everything. When I was in Chilliwack at the beginning of the month, I sold a Parker Hale Conversion that was in at least 90%+ condition for $750.

This was one of the between war variants that was made for shool shooting team and was sold commercially. They don't go as high as martially marked pieces.

That being said, the rifle sold within the first half hour of the show opening to the public.

Your rifle, from your description, could go anywhere from $350 - $1000. Condition is everything. These rifles aren't particularly rare at all. It's just that everyone that has one usually have emotional attachments from days gone by and of course the cheap ammo they use.

Calgary is known as a high priced show. If you are walking into the door with it, you might get lucky and sell it to one of the public but that won't go down well inside the building and could get you thrown out. You want to play, you have to pay.

The vendors, unless they are trying to fill a slot in a collection, will buy it for resale and you will take a 20-50% mark down.

They don't buy those tables and pay all of the expenses to set up at those shows to lose money.
 
Thanks for the info. I have two tables for the show so it will be all fair. It's just that this gun isn't in the parameters of my usual stuff or expertice. It does have what apears to be a broad arrow mark on the left side of the metal ears that guard the rear sight. I read somewere that a lot of "after the war cadet and shool shooting team rifles" were WWII battle rifles drilled out and a .22 liner installed, I can see no machining marks or evidence that this gun has a liner installed.
At the last show there was a trainer in v.g. to excellent with issued carry box listed at $1100 but was still there at pack-up time.
