    Never seen a pre WW1 BSA with a letter prefix to the serial number unless it has an 'S' at the start to denote some with the double latched trigger and those models usually have patent numbers above the serial number

    An 'L' series gum would be made somewhere between 1919 and 1935 ( bear in mind that no exact figures exist and the published series are only an aproximate guide)

    You have an early BSA Standard Light pattern. It has a pressed steel trigger guard, combined with a two hole trigger block ( where the trigger is none adjustable, and the pull weight is set at the factory). It will date from the 1920/21 time period. By the look of things is has light pitting, and little original finish remaining. The sights look correct and complete. In that condition, you would be looking at a price of £140-£185 IMO.

    Taking it that there is no particular reason for the tap and cocking levers not to be closed properly, I should have thought £100 to £140 was about right for a private sale.
