Mark:

Without the gun in hand and a measurement of its minimum barrel wall thickness value estimates would highly speculative. A range of values based on assumptions, given its currently undetermined barrel soundness, a member might wish to propose, provided you post detailed photos.

The photos should include barrel flats, water table, muzzles, and an overhead view of the termination of the rib matting above the muzzles.

And, what is the barrel length?

The gun sounds very interesting and could be very desirable, depending on its condition. The “serialization book” says it is a grade 2 under-lifter action hammer gun.

How did you acquire the gun, and how do you plan to use it?

Notably, there are surviving factory records on your gun.

Welcome Mark! Where are you located and maybe a nearby member can meet you and inspect the gun. If you can post some photos that would help too

This isnt really a firearms appraisal site. It is best to refer to publications such as the blue book as well as the number of online sales/auction sites.
