To get any kind of ballpark figure, you need to
1. Post some pictures
2. Give the serial number (xx the last two digits if you like)
3. List anything and everything you know about it, plus any extras (box, etc.) you have.
Whether Great-GrandDad bought it new in 1924 or you bought it yesterday in a pawnshop, that is pertinent information.

It probably sounds trite and redundant, but posting pictures will answer a lot of questions like
Blue or Nickel (yes, some commercial variations were - quite rarely - nickeled)
Original Stocks
Original Finish
Unusual Features
Exact Condition
Any Post-Factory Modifications

Obviously, word descriptions are better than nothing, but pictures show things that you or I might not think are important enough to mention. There are some eagle-eyed experts here, take advantage of them!
