Ryan, we see them from time to time and yes, it likely has minimum value.

Can you post a few pictures or at least tell us the serial number and we can tell you how it left the factory.

I will see what I can do, I can tell you that it is not listed in the "book". I received my copy from my children for x-mas thanks to the suggestions here.

It was most likely originally made with Damascus barrels. There has been a Damascus scare perpetrated by the gunmakers and ammo companies to scare folks into buying a new gun with fluid pressed steel barrels. Some folks chose to simply have them rebarreled.

A lot of us shoot our Damascus barreled guns with impunity... after expert examination for flaws and adequate barrel wall thickness. This of course should be the common practice with ANY old gun.
