AK47 (Saiga) Lee Enfield No.4 Magazines - Value?

#1 Post by Dark Skies »

My aunt has asked me to determine the value of some of my late uncle's shooting bits and bobs for her as the executor isn't au fait.
I've got a handle on most of the stuff and reasonable prices but I'm a bit stumped on some of the magazines.

What's considered reasonable for standard second-hand magazines to suit:

Lee Enfield .303 No4. (his was a Mk2)

Typical AK 7.62 surplus steel mags. He had a Saiga so these will have been modded to suit.

All appear to be in good shape.

The rifles had already been sold by an RFD by the time she thought to ask me about the toot - I think she could have done better.

My aunt emailed some pics for a better idea of their condition. Pics aren't wonderful but good enough.

These are, obviously, the Lee Enfield mags. Three identical with raised dots on the rear and one without them.

See sent the side pic of the one with the most paint missing for an idea of the average condition.

And these are some of the AK / Saiga mags.

I should stress I have to run the numbers back to her executor to see if he tips the nod for them to be sold. He may just sell the lot to some of the dealers on a list he apparently has. I think she'd do better selling them privately - as she should have done with his rifles. But there you go.
