I am sure some people who know more about the various models could give you more info about just which version yours is than I can. From my own experience I can state that there are a lot of these old top breaks out there and anything that affects the originality really lowers the value. If it is fully functional with a good bore it would have some value as a classic shooter but no real collector value. I would guess (based on similar guns I have sold over the last few years) that it would fall into the $150 or less price range, quite a bit less if it has any functioning issues.

If this gun was replated with Chrome, wouldn't the details on the barrel be filled in and almost unreadable? Just a question.
