You can look on Gun Broker, Guns international and see what similar guns to yours have sold for not the asking price. More detailed pictures of the gun would be helpful.
I don't know where you live but you could take it to a dealer with a good reputation for an estimate in writing of it's value.
I have several DHE 20's of varying barrel lengths and the most I paid for one was $13K in excellent condition with a good amount of case color remaining. If I was looking for a straight grip 20 (and I love a straight grip small bore) I think your gun would be valued at between $8K-9500.
It's a nice gun with several very redeeming factors such as ejectors, unmolested original condition, straight grip and I'm assuming the skeleton but.
The most important thing is it will stay in the family for future generations and your family member is willing to pay a fair price to keep it in the family.
