Impossible to answer without a detailed description of all features, condition, finish, box, papers, accessories, etc..
Is it possible to suggest what to look for (features, finish, etc.) so I can answer the questions you listed? I have the original box but since I am not a gun person, I don't have the sightest idea what to look for. Any assistant in trying to get a value on this gun is very much appreciated. Thank you for your time.
