Having to consider selling family heirloom - looking for estimates of value

Welcome, Steve,

You have a G date. The 'secret code' for 1935. Generally scarce but not rare. About 54,000 made. But there are variations on the proof marks, found on the rt. side of the receiver that could increase its value. Hard to describe, but think of a football goal post on it's side with letters and numbers inside. Then later came what we call E/63, Eagle 63.

What is the full serial number found on the front of the frame, under the barrel. There may be a script letter there too, like d or an f. Also what is stamped on the tool?

Matching magazines increase the value too!
