Right here is a good place to start. Post lots of pics, find out exactly what it is and in what condition, then browse prices with an online site like www.gunbroker.com (completed auctions!).

...and how do we get the paper work done on it as it has never been registered as we just found out about it.

Unfortunately the state I live in (NY) has very strict hand gun laws, I have a Carry concealed permit, however, I don't believe that will help.

Yes, it will. You need to go down to your local Pistol Permit Office and explain it all to them. Do not take the pistol with you, they will tell you what to do. I live in NYS and more & more of these attic treasures are surfacing as [sadly] the vets are passing on...

Take all paperwork with you that you can - did he have a 'bringback' certificate with the gun??? The pic is a good proof of ownership as well. You may have to surrender it for a short period of time, but you will be issued a receipt for it.

I have seen 'walk throughs' in my local office; same story, vet bring-back, never registered. It was not a problem.

Good luck!
