When I "helped" "The Old Guys" out we would see these type weapons a few times a year. We gave about $100.00 for good, clean versions after multiple attempts to get the people to keep them and pass them down in the family. Majority of people just wanted to sell them. We gave more money than most of the competition. I do not remember us selling any of these type weapons, they went home with someone. I believe the one above might have garnered up to $125.00 in this timeframe.
I hate to put a value on one in this market and seeing as I am 20 years down the road but I doubt more than $300.00. I am sure someone will have a better idea and give more reliable information.
Again, I would urge you to keep it in the family and have ZERO worries about the value. It is irreplaceable and the heritage should be maintained! It is your history and a way to touch the past!

That is 100% my intention.
I suspect one the my Uncles two sons will want it. I will let them decide which of them gets it. If for some reason neither one wants it my brother will happily take it for one of his two sons. I have no real interest in it. The one certainty is it will not be sold by me.
I feel sure it was once my Grandfather's shotgun. He gave it to his only son, my Uncle. I hope it goes to one of his sons.
