I'd say keep it for sentimental value. But if you're desperate to sell, I'd recommend doing a private sale rather than a commercial one. When you sell to a dealer, you'll get about 50-70% of the value because they intend to resell your gun for a profit. With a private sale, you could easily get closer to your asking price by selling to an enthusiast who will more than likely keep the gun. I'm not sure what the laws are in your state. In NH we can sell to "known individuals" without doing an official transfer, but NH is great for gun laws.
Good luck with whatever you decide!
