Hi Gene, Welcome to the forum! Your Father left you some nice stuff. The 1917 Artillery is very nice and your valuation is spot on, however, I think you should figure it $4,000.00 for insurance purposes. The drum magazine and dust cover are the real deal (there are a lot of fakes out there) and are worth $1,250.00 to $1,500.00. Once again you should insure them for more. The leather pouch is a fake.
Regards, Norm
