You had asked about value and no one wants to go out on that limb without better data, but I'll try.
If the gun is 100% matching and with original finish, bore decent, no problems, it could go for as much as $2k. But there are a lot of "if's" there. I'd think $1750 is closer to reality.
On the other hand, if it is mismatched internally, refinished, or otherwise compromised, that figure drops down to the $1000 range.
And that's about as far out on the limb as I'll go without more info. Hope this helps.

That is pretty far out!

Just look at auctions and sellng prices on Gunbroker for real life data.
