The problem is that those guns were not high ticket items to begin with, and most are well worn. It would IMHO be unsafe to fire, so it has no value as a gun and would be in the relic category, basically a wall hanger. He might get $50 for it at a gun show or on consignment at a gun shop or antique store. If someone offers him more, I suggest grabbing the money and running.
