This may be a hard question to answer as I don't have any pictures because I am still considering the purchase but here goes. I found a No.4(T) for sale but I need to know if it is worth the asking price of $4,000. From what I have been able to research it was likely a less scope rifle that was eventually mated with the current scope upon its release from service. The rifle is a M47 Shirley dated 1944 in excellent shape with all the correct markings but with no scope number stamped on the flat behind the reciever. The Mk III scope is a C.T.&S in excellent shape with clear optics and comes with the case numbered to the scope but the case and bracket are numbered to a V prefix rifle. The transit case has a Wheddon designation stenciled on it and is complete and in good shape and it also has a 1940 dated manual. I offered $3,600 but he is firm at $4,000 and I have always wanted one but that's a lot of money. Any thoughts would be a appreciated.
