I picked up the unused (can't say unfired because it was most likely tested at the factory) recently. This is a Christmas present from the missus so I'm not permitted to shoot it until the 26th of December. Got it for about half of what they have been selling for on GB so I'm pretty happy.
How to tell it a #4 is really unused? Check the feedramp. Ball rounds will leave an inverted "V" mark from the bullet tips as they feed from the magazine. Also check the finish at the muzzle. Can both be cleaned up and refinished to hide this? Sure, but most sellers are too lazy or not aware enough to hide these signs of use.
It also came with an Enfield marked #9 bayonet and scabbard.
