I'd like to sell this Lee Enfield MK V serial D12409. I think $250 is a fair price for this, buyer pays transfer fee. It's in great condition for its age.

That appears to be a sporterized No1 MkIII, or something sporterized to look similar to a No5 Mk I. In which case this rifle is worth about $200-$250 to the right person. Do you have any information regarding this "Mk V"?

 

[ditchtiger]

To the best of my knowledge the Mk5's have the sight on the rear of the receiver.

Definitely Not a No1 Mk 5 "Jungle Carbine" or one of the No1 MkIIIs converted to Look like one.
Forestock looks like it might have been on an early Mk 1

 

[Phantom Man]

That's a No1 or No1 MK...

As others have said it, Not a MkV

MA 43 stamps on the barrel indicate this is a Lithgow No1, with a barrel dated 43. Also, as others already said, this is a $200-250 rifle at best.

Thanks for the info. I'll update the price.

It would be helpful if you could post a Pic of the Nomenclature on the right side of the Butt Socket directly under the bolt handle.
Tnx in advance.

Yes, wrist markings would be good. Serial and markings on the barrel shank indicate 41-42 Lithgow No1MkIII*, Orange Small Arms Factory. D serial is supposedly very late in 42, so the MA43 stamp on the shank probably indicates it was assembled in early 43 and accepted for service.

If you were closer, I may have picked it up because I'm a sucker for projects. GLWS thou.

Here is excellent history on some of the 1940's Lithgow's that are in the USA.

That number under the bolt You're showing should match a number on the top of the wrist, the flat spot on the top, where the bolt folds over.
there should a number on the back of the bolt that matches the rifle serial number.
HV SC on the barrel means High Velocity, Short Cone.
