back in 1972 my grandfather did a concrete job and instead of getting payed , he was given a WW1 Lee Enfield and a crate of ammo stamped 1917 , i would like to identify the rifle but we havnt got any photos , i live in australia , it didnt have a metal ring under the bolt can anyone help ? also how much would the ammo be worth?
Can't you get a camera and take any pictures and post them? Kind of hard for anyone, myself not included, lol, to give any kind of an accurate number without even seeing a picture and even then it'd just be a guess by whomever?

Check gunbroker.com and auctionarms.com. They are gun auction websites, and maybe there are enough Enfields on there of the same nature you might be able to get a read on price. But without pics, its nearly impossible to tell you anything else...

There may be a collector's value in that ammo as well. Especially, if it is in it's original crate from almost 100 years ago. Do your research before doing anything with that ammo! Or Rifle for that matter.
Sounds like you have some interesting history!
