Look for similar stuff on Gunbroker (Items that actually sold, not "wish-list" prices.)
Bring it in to Ye Local Gun Shop, and be prepared for a low figure - they'd have to re-sell it at a profit.
More or less current "Blue Book" value is $275 for a perfect, 100% Condition gun to $100 for a shooter.
This is for a "regular" hunting-type gun - if it's a riot/ trench gun (short barrel, military markings) then that's a whole other world.
Pix would help, or more info, like overall condition, gauge, etc....
good luck

even if it has no "real" value, if it fits you, and it's mechanically sound, there's nothing wrong with an older gun. And, when it rains, you don't have to worry about ruining a fancy piece! ![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
