Enfield No.1 mk iii

[RumJungle]

I’m near Athens Ga. Does anyone know where I might get an appraisal on a Enfield No. 1 mk iii? It has the magazine cutoff and a bayonet on it. I’ve seen prices from $500 to +$1500 for the same rifle. I can’t figure out the difference between a $500 one and a +$1500 one.

Much depends on the manufacturer, date and condition. If it is WWI era with a mint barrel probably closer to 1k.

If it is GRI (Indian) probably less nearer the $500.

Post the manufaturer markings on either side of the wrist band.

London Small Arms Company Limited, mid war production. How is the bore?

Although the bayonet could have appeared at any time of course, the long bayonets were more a British thing. The Ishapore units tended to have originally been issued with shorter bayonets. Indians just wanted them for combat. British - maybe they were compensating for something and felt they needed the super long blade??????

If all numbers match it'd fetch high hundreds I'd think. Most are III*

I wouldn’t call it bright shiny but looks moderately shiny to me.

In the pictures I have, the bolt and receiver match, the rear sight has a lined out serial number and one matching the bolt and receiver has been stamped. I haven’t looked it over closer than that.

What is the bayonet worth?
