    $75+ but since youre a nice guy I think I can pay $100...but no more. Can you tell I spent some time on the old Maxwell Street?

    On a more serious note, I haven't a clue in regard to an actual hard, honest trade value. Although I suspect a lot matters in what comes with it.

      About 7,000 pounds in the U.K. for rifle and C.E.S.

        I wouldn't even venture a guess, but the U.K. price of about $10,000.00 U.S. would be very reasonable in the U.S.A.

          John JB White as usual is overly generous.

                I'm glad you noticed. It's not every day I offer 25% more than I can afford!

                For the sake of conversation, I think this is one of those things only an auction can decide what's to be made. As far as a start-off and reserve goes, what would be a decent number? $7,500...$8,000? Not to go too high from the get-go for fear of turning away a prospective bidder or two. You'd want a bidding war on something like this. Yes? No?
                What say the rest?

                  Did you ever get a good answer to this question? I'm wondering too, for the same reason, although I don't have much of the C.E.S. gear. Thanks.

                    What's it worth or how much someone is willing to give you for it. You could probably get $5000 or $6000 in a relatively short time or $7500 or more if you are willing to let it sit in the market place long enough. There is a fanny for every seat the trick is to find that fanny.

                        Just a quick note. I have No intention of selling my L42A1 , L39A1 or my remaining two No4 Mk1T's. NOR do I wish to sell the Vickers, Bren, Lewis, or STEN!
                        While I am at it, I lso have no intention of selling my 1944 BSA WM20 or my 1944 Cushman airborne.

                            John, I don't want you to sell them, but I liked your British revolver collection.
