Original Garand sniper scope... value ???

In going through my stuff, turns out ( I was told what it was by a pretty knowledgable guy ) I have an original Garand sniper scope...
it's in pretty good condition ( I need to repair one of the hinged caps for the scope adjustment ) any eye deer of the value ??? is it a keeper, or should I sell it ??? ( I have a nice Garand, but it's not a sniper model, & I don't have the original mount... though I do have a B Square mount )

it is a 7/8" tube, & says "telescope M84" on the side with a serial of 295XX, has Weaver Rings, which I also believe are original, it has a little light surface rust ( like it was actually used ), & has the built in sun shade, & a good "T" post cross hair...

should I repair the cap, & clean it up with some steel wool, or leave it as is ( my steel guy could likely do a resto quality repair on the hinged cap )

here are a couple pics...






BTW...is this Weaver model 1X worth repairing the cross hair on it ???
