Transit cases were not issued for individual no4 rifles so I would suspect a bit of a set-up. That is, unless it is either a no4mk1*(T) sniper, or a Cno7 .22 cal version. Plain jane no4s came in crates of multiple rifles, I think it was 10 but I can't be sure right now. Mil arms' Alan Kerr makes reference in his displays to a crate of sequential no4s he bought which were imported from Europe about 20 years ago.
If it is truly an unfired rifle, i would suggest the following prices for LongBranch produced rifles:
No4mk1 (pre *) $500-1200 (if such a rifle even exists unnissued)
no4mk1* dated wartime $400-$800
no4mk1* postwar $450-550 (usually 1949/50 dated)
no4mk1*(T) w. chest, scope etc.. $4500-6500
Cno7 wartime or post war $900-1500

The prices on LongBranch rifles only keeps getting higher, and considering what a full wood USED one is starting to go for, the really nice ones are actually a bargain.
Beware of grease, it can be used to hide fakes, particularily where Cno7s are in the equasion. I see more fakes of these than real ones, so buyer beware.
Walde, please contact me with more info on this rifle if you have any.
