Thanks guys...to be clear...it's been in the family for years, since the early 70's, when my dad took advantage of a friend of my grandfather...the fellow was simply trying to "unload" a Winchester shotgun...had no idea what he had...my dad was out of town, when grand pa called him about the deal...having a pretty good idea of what it was, my dad told grandpa to buy it....the deal went down....$100...my dad, not being a skeet shooter, never used it...I've shot 2 rounds of skeet with it...that's it for the past 50 years...I do not shoot a side by side very well...over and under guy...
from my recent readings, and occasional research, I came up on the Cody web site, and decided to inquire....from what I've found, it will add value, however I do not vision selling it...BUT my son may choose to....
thanks again for all the kind replies

:-)Rocky
