There is a market for them and for some, shooters, BORE CONDITION is all. For the "cut and weld" de-activation market external condition is all. And for BOTH originality and condition of the sights....not knocked crooked or so such.
I have one similar to that except that it's a MArtini-Enfield and was professionally refurbished (re-blued) and proofed during the 1960s. The avid collector would have a fit at the refurbishment, but it looks as issued now.
The market is rather varied at the moment it seems. I would suggest talking to a specialist dealer in such items a they know what the market is like NOW. Saying what one sold for last year is of no use as the market is changing so quickly.
