Hello There!
A Quaker friend of mine (irony not lost, lol) is interested in selling me a two band enfield rifle that he believes to be original. He says he used to reenact with it in the 70's and 80s, but it has been gathering dust since.
Having reenacted for many years, I am familiar with some of the differences between reproductions and originals in newer weapons, but am less familiar with rifles from that era. I've posted some photos to this thread, would anyone with more experience be able to take a look? I took pictures of what I remember were key differences between armisport/euroarms and originals, they are attached here.
For the record, he's only asking $600. For a 2 band used reproduction in rough shape, that seems high. For an original, that seems great. I'd love to have your opinions there too.
And THANKS!
