Looks like it's been Heavily polished, reblued and chromed? If so, it has lost all collector value. Maybe $200-$300 for someone that needs one for SASS.

No idea on what the value would be, but if someone is ambitions, they may be able to strip the chrome from the action bar and magazine tube and have it re-blued. Still not ideal as a collector piece, but at least the gun would look how it's supposed to look. Might also be an ideal candidate for a replica trench gun, since someone already messed with it.

I like the way you think and agree wholeheartedly. It’s already been altered, so do it up right now as a trench build.
