Nice rifle and one of only 970 that were purchased from the trade in early 1915.
The value will depend on which country you live.
Are you able to post a few photos of the markings on the barrel and action. I take it that the rifle is a BSA?
Regards
Alan

Is it marked Lee Speed?
Or is it a commercial sporting pattern made on a Lee action.
Not all Martini's are MH's. Nor are all Sporting pattern Lee actions, Lee Speed's. It's a popular misuse of the Term.
A true Lee Speed should be marked "Lee Speed" Others can be "Lee Speed" Pattern, but that doesn't make them Lee Speed's.
