Hi,

I won a First Pattern BSA Lincoln jeffries with a straight stock at auction recently.
sn. 1399 makes it 1905, and its in nice used condition.
Pretty much brown throughout, stocks good but has some lettering lightly scratched into one side, link pivot screw is a replacement as is the catch block (dovetail fitted) sights are original and in great condition. screws are original but some show signs of use. compression is good.
Overall a lovely used rifle. Pics here:

I have a friend who collects 1905 first patterns specifically so will probably do a swap or part exchange with him for a very nice original condition 1908 light pattern that he has.

I got this for £250 including fees (bit of a gamble as their was only one 3/4 pic)
I understand the straight grips are rarer than the pistol grips. can anyone give me a rough estimate of value please?
It'd be nice to have an idea before maybe coming to an arrangement with my mate.

Thanks,

Matt.
