"...trying not to get bogged down in doing this the right way..." For an estate you really need to be exact. Friggin' bayonets and other accessories have gone up in value by higher percentages than the rifle they go on. Those British Pattern 1907's are worth nearly $200US or more depending on condition. Nearly soiled myself when I saw a No. 7 Mk 1/L (Land) bayonet valued(I paid about $20 for mine.) at nearly $400Cdn. And $25Cdn for a No. 4 "spike". Those were sold as tent pegs at one time.
Values will vary a lot from place to place and between countries as well.
"...The estate is pushing..." That the executor?
Spelling and grammar count!
