[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1005915, member: 7157"] Depends on whether or not the numbers match, the condition of the bore, and if the stock has been refinished. The mum has been defaced, so that's a ding to the value, in the eyes of a collector. It's hard to tell from your pics, but it does look like someone applied a post-war finish to the stock, which is a serious ding to the value. Assuming the bore is good, the numbers do not match, and the stock has been refinished... I'd say a fair value would be in the neighborhood of $200-250. If it's all-matching, the bore is excellent, the stock has its original finish, then the value with a defaced mum would be closer to $400-450. However, my advice is worth what it cost you to get it :D Check around online, and you'll get a better sense of the rifle's value. Matching numbers matter more to a collector than a defaced mum, I can tell you that much. Ditto for an original finish. [/QUOTE]
