An accurate value can't be given by the description given but if it is a plain field model it will be approximately between $200.00-$300.00. These guns seem to bring more money down in the US, the further South, the better (so it seems).
The chamber should be measured as it may be shorter than 2 3/4" and should not have the longer shells fired in it if that is the case. If 2 3/4", the gun will handle modern loads but it is not designed for steel shot.

I believe that even in the shorter chambers you'd be safe to shoot modern, low pressure, LEAD shotshells out of it.
