It helps a lot. I got a similar thought from Chuck, so thank you both. At that price, maybe I can safely pass it on to my niece with children and trust that it's not worth so much as to tempt her husband to sell it. That's my real dilemma, so in a way, it's a relief to find that it's not worth so much after all. It was my great grandfather's, and well used by the end of his life. My grandfather had put it in his attic and never looked at it again. My father thought it was a deer rifle. I wasn't any smarter, having once tried to sell it while in college for $300 but couldn't find a taker. Anyhow, I've hunted with it for fifty years and I greatly appreciate the encouragement from people here to find a way to keep it in my family. I guess that's what I came on this site to learn.
