What is the serial number?
Based on the engraving and the finish of the stock this appears to be a grade 1.

If it was manufactured between 1966 and 1972 then it will need to be carefully inspected for the presence of salt wood in the stock and forearm.
Look for these marking on the left side of the barrels barrels near the chamber to determine how it is choked:
* = full choke
*_ = improved modified
** = modified
**_ = improved cylinder
**$ = skeet
*** = cylinder
Condition, grade, year, and choke will determine the price range.
