Fellas I have a Lee Enfield No4 MK2 Irish (54) contract rifle.
I have only shot it once (the bore is pristine). I bought it from an older gentleman selling off his collection. He said he had it for about 40 years.
What makes this one so unique is not only is the rifle all matching even the bayonet and scabbard match the rifle serial number.
I have seen very few where everything matches.
Thinking I could use the funds for other projects.
I have seen these go for what now seems huge amounts.
But, the bayonet and scabbard obviously didnt match on them.
What do you think this adds to its collectability?
Any idea on what to ask?
Prices are going up should I hang on to it or sell?
