Need help with value please (pictures included)

[Grouser]

I just inherited an Enfield N0.1 Mark 4 sniper rifle stamped 1945. It comes with wooden box, scope and is complete -- all serial #'s match. I judge it to be in very good to excellent condition with full wood as issued - butt plate is steel not brass - three slings and correct leather strap - great bore and strong rifling -- indicates that it has seen little use. In all likelihood will sell it as I'm not into this sort of thing but need an idea of value. What is it worth -- pictures below.
Thanks!

about 4500 - 5000$

Yeah, if the scope is matching to the rifle $5000 would be low if anything.

I might as well be the first one..." I'll give you $500 " wink wink no, but seriously great find congrats. IF only money was no issue

Nice.

I'd share pics with you of the one I inherited, but it would likely embarrass one of us.

I felt it jump a little.. that is beautiful!!

All matching, complete and correct $5K - $6K, how are the scope's optics? Either way, they can be rebuilt.

Thanks for the input --CGN is a great resource -- I did sell the gun and more quickly than I expected.
Cheers, John

The No.1 rifle is something else. Yours is a No.4 Mk.1, converted to a No.4T. The No.4 was made in Mk.1 and Mk1* versions during WWII and particularly accurate ones were selected for conversion to the sniper variant.

(Other marks of No.4 were the Mk.2 which was a post-war design change, and post-war conversions of Mk.1 versions to the Mk.2 spec remarked Mk.1/2 and of the Mk.1* spec. remarked to Mk.1/3. I don't know if any of those were ever converted to the No.4T sniper variant, but that doesn't matter to your present question.)

If yours is genuine, and it looks to be in those pictures, it was originally a No.4 Mk.1 made by the BSA factory at Shirley (basically a suburb of Birmingham, BSA had two other factories, also in that city) in 1945 and then converted to a No.4T sniper. The M47 on the butt socket means BSA made it, the /C means the Shirley factory.
