I have an original WW2 issue Redfield scope base. It has all square corners and the only the name redfield on the right rear side. The mounting screw locations show evidence if staking. What should I ask for It?
I also have another that is exactly the same except the name redifeld is on the front right side.

I wouldn't make an offer for anything I couldn't see; for the same reasons, I wouldn't try to estimate value for something I can't see.
That's especially true for your second mount, as Redfield never made a "Redfield Jr" base with only "Redfield" on the right front side.

EDIT: The left windage screw was supposed to be staked by Ordnance, so that the scope could be r&r'd without changing zero by unscrewing the right screw.
Mounting holes were staked. Windage wasn't, although the screws worked loose with much shooting. Not a good arrangement.
I don't recall markings location.
