THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT On what this may be worth? Good condition and matching numbers (90xx) otherwise. Does the cai stamp devalue it too much? |

Those EP import markings on the receiver do not increase the resale value. A No1 MkIII in good condition is $200+/-
As a Enfield collector I don't mind import marks on the barrel end, but the receiver marks kill a deal for me. It would need to be a rare version before I would consider it. For some who just want a shooter it doesn't matter much. |

I don't think I have ever seen a No1 MkIII import with a import mark that wasn't import marked on the recvr.
Depending on the vintage the majority of Century import marked guns are fairly discreet import marked. The mark won't have much of a price effect on a shooter grade enfield No1. Value $200-250 a bit more if a peddle scheme rifle or rarer year/manuf....alittle less if in really poor condition. |

It would have to be something incredibly rare for me to consider the receiver billboard marks on an Enfield. Those things are a travesty. I've seen some where the billboard was applied right over the manufacturer's original markings, as well as rifles given a new serial number when the original is clearly visible. |

I've seen some where the billboard was applied right over the manufacturer's original markings, as well as rifles given a new serial number when the original is clearly visible. Here is one of those exceptions. This Mk1/3 is unfired since it's FTR. The photo makes the import mark look much worse than normal viewing. The line out and Century mark devalue this rifle several hundred dollars. Interesting FTR, every part except the bolt and receiver was replaced and are marked F53.
