A somewhat worn gun in a somewhat worn box is at least a thousand dollar gun in my view. Better condition brings better bucks, all the way up to new in box or almost new in box around $2000. I have it in mind that there is a premium for Transitional HDs simply because I like them and would be willing to pay a premium for them myself. So it's hard to answer your question meaningfully without seeing pics of the gun and knowing its era of manufacture.
The transitional HD I posted above looks as though it has some blue loss on the barrel and shroud, but that's light scatter. I would rate that gun at 98-99%. The box isn't perfect, but it's pretty good. So I would guess that one would probably sell with no trouble in the mid- to high 'teens. (In my enthusiasm a couple of years ago, I paid more.)
