Yes, as Mike states "green" is a good thing. The Aussies graded their cadet rifles and a green band indicated it was in the best condition.

Well, spending cash is always a personal decision ;)

However, the value of the rifle I see along with its sling and bayonet certainly justify an asking price of $300.

it was a great buy , he never said if he bought it tho , it would be worth twice that right now ,
it appeared to be lithgow made in 1941 and FTRd or transitioned to cadet use in 52 , the bayonet was a 1917 so it would be worth twice that as well now ,

it appears to have been complete and in decent condition , wishin would have got it in my possession :grin:

Don’t remember when or where I saw that rifle but I did not buy it. But I bought plenty of others over the years.
