P1853 "Enfield" Rifled Musket

Hi peeps,

I have an original P1853 Enfield rifle musket, with bayonet, that I'm thinking of selling. Any ideas as to how much these things go for? Is there a general "ball-park" figure, or does it really depend on the condition?

Regards
T

Ah boo, didn't realise what forum this was in and thought it might be a little write up. I have nothing what so ever interesting or worthwhile to add, sorry!

Doh :cool2: What a muppet. I didn't even think of pictures. Still suffering from post-rained-on-and-frozen-solid-range-trip.

I'll post some later tonight... when it's clean.

How much have you got? ;) :lol: :lol:

Not really sure, to be honest.

£700.00 ?

I'll throw in the bayonet, the mould I had made that casts a straight-sided Pritchett, cavity, bullet and the rest of the bullets I've got, which I think is about 30

The bore's like a mirror and the lock's very crisp.
