AYA No. 53 SxS, matte finish; what should I pay?

Hello from Germany!
I am being offered to buy a 12 gauge AYA no.53 model made in 1977 and have to make an offer, but I have no idea what it's worth.
Barrel is 28 inches long, chokes I believe * and *** (1/1 and 1/2).
The wood is all right, some stripes, but not exactly exhibition grade. I have only seen detailed photos, but it seems to be in quite good condition with few shots fired.
Receiver is engraved with a floral buket design, the finish is gray matte, (Is that what you call "coin finish"?)
So any ideas on what I should pay for the gun? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Apart from that, I heard some rumours about the interior lock parts of spanish gunsbeing made of quite soft material in that time, does that hold true for AYAs as well?
