Tracey, welcome to the forum, these war time guns went through a lot and sometimes they had bangs, scratches etc and the GI just wanted it prettied up, however, ruining the collector value.
A shooter like this is worth around $600-$700, maybe a bit more, but it all depends on who is looking that weekend at the gun show (if you had a table) and the market is fickle right now (cheap is a not as nice term)....
