Capegator, there is an article in the April 02 issue of the American Rifileman on the British garands. This does explain your proof marks, yours was proofed in Birmingham according to the article. And that rifiles with the red stripe you mentioned bring a premium, but no value was in the article.
Price of Britsh M1 Garand
Can some one tell we the worth of a totally original Britsh Garand? I have checked all the part Numbers and the Britsh Proof marks (Birmingham) and everthing checks correct, down to faint red paint on the orignal stock. Not that I want to sell it but would like to know Its worth. Thanks
