I bought a No 4 Mk 1 (1943) date a while back and it was in pretty rough shape, metal finish compeltely gone, wood all very dark and gouged in a few places, and the buttstock won't screw in all the way. I had the idea of cleaning it up (yes i know its frowned upon) but never got around to it and have kinda lost interest. Do you folk think it'd be worth it to try and sell it towards something else, or am I going to get next to nothing for it on account of the shape it's in.
