Well, congrats on the inheritance. As far as the rifle goes obviously it use to be a Number 4 mark 1 Enfield. It has been heavily modified and would have very little collectors value. Looks like it had a scope mount on it at some point judging by the holes in the receiver. I wish people hadn't sporterized so many of these historic warhorses.
How does the inside of the barrel look? Most of the original ammunition was very corrosive. The saving grace is that most of the hunting ammo produced later on was not corrosive.
I think you would need to find someone who likes it for what it is and not what is use to be. Basically wanting to use it as is. I would say the value is around 250.00 full retail. I am interested to see what others have to say......
I think you summed it up well Wolfhound.
Reminder just because it's old, doesn't mean it's worth Gold.
Sporterizing old war rifles was the thing to do in the 1950's, they made great "hunting rifles", it is too bad so many were ruined for us here in the future.
