The "value" of this gun is two-fold. First, as a testimony to its long life as well as some previous owner's concept of "enhancement." Many American double guns from the 20th Century carry such handiwork. They are artifacts of times past.

This does not mean the gun lacks function. It will still perform well with moderate ammunition.

But the real value of this gun is that it was your father's. Even if simply by his purchase one day in the past. He saw worth in it. And as a piece of your father's memory, I'd say the gun has special value...
