I was hoping I wouldn't end up disassembling it. I'm unsure of the value on this, although I suspect it's a high end gun, it was part of a gift from a family friends late husbands estate. I'm teetering on the edge of selling it since there are others that I received that I will actually use, and I'm currently facing a layoff. I hate keeping guns I won't use, but it's such a beautiful firearm. Thanks everyone for all of your input thus far. Anyone got any idea on the value?
