It’s also wearing a post-Independence forearm. They’re not super common, but a wartime date would fetch more interest. Assuming all matching with a good bore, I’d say $500 give or take $50?

 

I have a couple of wartime Ishys' a 1918 and a 1940. I agree you rarely come across ones that haven't been completely refurbed.

 

There just doesn't seem to be that many outside of India and perhaps a majority were modified into the .410 and issued to the Police. My original and unmolested 1940 Mark III with the green jungle paint. Your 1919 has been converted into a III* but what a great year to have.

Could be, hard to say with just the information given. I’d want to see the magazine, nosecap, rear sight, bolt & barrel markings. For all we know it could be a modern sporter rescue, but definitely worth looking into, it’s an interesting rifle.

 

The Z on the rifle’s butt stock socket indicates that it is unserviceable and may be unsafe to fire.

 

Maybe, but we’ve seen enough various letters stamped on the RH butt socket on “barred-out-star” conversions that I personally would be skeptical of that conclusion, especially based on what little information we even have.

Matching and super smooth bolt.
