The value range is from $100 for one in 20 percent condition and working up to $225 for one that's 100 percent. The finish was black nickel over silver nickel over brass.
It would be worth around $45 in non working condition. More if it was working.
What condition is it in. Is it still working? Is it in Excellent, Very good, Good, Fair or Poor condition?
I do not know what it is worth, but it will be worth way more if you have the machine cleaned up and in working condition.
If it is clean, undamaged, and in good working condition.....NO. Since the radiator needs to be removed, to remove the engine, now is a good time to have it cleaned and checked.
If you are looking for a value then state the current condition of the rifle. Is it still working? Is it in Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent condition? With out more information it is not possible to place any value on your rifle.
