I just had this sucker given to me the other day. I did a little searching and it seems these rifles are a little rare. Any ideas of what they sell for (not interested in selling). Anyone else have one of these? Also, it is missing it's magazine. Where could I find a replacement (ad already on the EE).







 
Are the parts that exist "all matching"?

Example in Knowledge Library is "all matching". Serial number is 6393 as shown under bolt arm and also translated from this document.

Translated Siamese Script
"Rama VI Model 2462" (Buddhist Era or B.E. date). This is AD 1919 on Christian calendar.

Sadly, the numbers on the bolt handle do not match receiver. I am new to these rifles, so I am not sure what other parts could have matching numbers.
 
I have one Siamese Lee-Enfield NoI MkIII complete and one sporter model. It could be a candidate for restoration I thought maybe using the wood from a BSA commercial target model as a source for unmarked military stocks.
I don't think the sporter bolt matches.
I have two different models of the Siamese Mauser one was probably manufactured by a Japanese factory. When I purchased it, I was certain it was Japanese until I took a really close look at it and discovered it has a "Charkra" and not a chrysanthemum on the receiver.
