I would say up to $400 from your description. Post good photos to get a more definite answer.

Get a buddy in the U.S to take it down there and sell it for you. You'll get a lot more for it there than here.

Ya the Buddy technique he can just put it in his trunk drive through 2 board crossing stop at the first gun shop he drives up to get $1.500.00 us for it put $400 in his pocket and give u the balance . I use to do that in the late 70's and 80"s when I would go to the us for trap shoots . Not that easy anymore

These days if it doesn't have changeable chokes, people are not interested.

I have 3 M12s and haven't paid more than 350 for any of them. Of course, none of them have the fine wood that can be seen on the upgraded models. If yours does have the slightly raised comb, then I see them asking 800+, but I don't see them selling..
