In a complete, high condition ROSS M10 are there certain features (other than condition) that affect value? I heard US markings would lower value, are these easily recognizable? Thanks in advance

Ross "M10" were never used by the US.

Generally referred to as a Ross 1910 or MkIII...

Is this a commercial rifle or a military?
 
The military Mk III Ross rifles are Marked M10 on the receiver rings, but they are not M10s. They are Mk III military rifles. The true M10s are sporting rifles built on essentially the same action. If I am not mistaken, the rifles supplied to the US were Mk IIs, which were built on the earlier 1905 action.
 
Thanks guys then it's a 1910 or Mark III, marked M-10 on receiver. I didn't notice any other markings.
 
A big thing that will effect the value is if the buttstock is sanded (more so than most rifles) the reason being is the stock is where the unit markings were all placed as well as the history of the rifle (year of manufacture etc.). Personally even if it was full stock I wouldn't touch it if the buttstock was sanded.
 
All the usual debts and credits apply. A Home Guard rifle will have a serial number on the barrel and "H.G...." on the butt. Rifles without reamed out chambers should be at a bit of a premium too, for those that like to shoot theirs. Unit markings to a famous regiment would help too.
