Value Question

The members of the Forum would be in a better position to help you if you were able to post some pictures.

If the finish is in the range of 98% and if it truly appears to be "possibly unfired" I would be very cautious since it has probably been reblued. And if it has been reblued, this greatly reduces the value.

You mentioned the mismatched period magazine, so are you assuming the rest of it is all matching or have you been able to determine that yet?

The possible issue of having been reblued, and/or the matching numbers will have a big impact on what it is worth.

Without more information and especially pictures, I doubt that anyone is going to tell you it is worth the asking price.

If you have trouble posting pictures, I'm sure someone will help you.

Hope this information is helpful.
