Totally understand why you would want it back. That said, it has been 48 years (I know that because I was born in 1960
).
So, no offense, but you need good provenance that it is yours. A 1906 AE is worth from $1200-$3000 all depending on condition.
A lot of people could have owned it through the years, all legally buying and selling it. If it is not in the police database (NICS if I remember right), and after so many years, I believe they are purged, but even if not, then NICS was probably not even in existence. Then it could legally have been sold many times the last 25-30 years and not come up as stolen...
