Hi Jim,
Welcome aboard! You get about three gold stars for providing the serial number, details, and pretty good photos!
First, the gun looks like it's off face. There is considerable light between the breach face and the face of the barrels. Are the barrels loose on the action with the forend removed? This repair will be $300 or more.
What is the value? That's tough to say without the gun in hand. The gun does look to be in decent shape other than the aforementioned problem. Are the bores smooth and shiney? Is the stock without cracks? Are the ribs tight to the barrels? Assuming that the gun has no other problems value could be between $750 and $1500. Maybe less, maybe more... I like the old engraving with the big woodcock.
The market is down presently but it will come back up when the economy improves.
For what's it's worth,
Mark
