Kyle,
I've got one that looks real similar to yours that belonged to my father. He's still living but passed the gun along to me several years ago.
They were made in the thousands, didn't cost much even when brand new, and today they're just old guns. It's knowing it belonged to your Dad , that he hunted with it, shot game with it, that makes them worth something to the sons like us.
