I bought an original, 98 percent field gun for $1,800 a couple of years ago and I bought a refinished gun on the campfire for around $1,000 if memory serves. $2,500 seems high. I was at Tulsa a year ago and several really clean, 90 percent plus 42s were sitting at $1,800 to $2,500 pricing.
If all original and no pad / original LOP, i would say $1400-$1500, though I am not sure how the open choke affects value. I love mine by the way.
