    You have provided a description that could potentially have dramatic value swings based on original vs. refinish vs. factory rework/refinish. It really requires detailed photos posted in this forum to be able to give you any reasonable estimate of value. You can find instructions on posting photos if you look at the top of this forum or follow this link:

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    What is the serial number on this Carbine? As described, I am not of the belief that it was factory refinished. If you really want a definitve answer, purchase a factory letter for it from the Cody Firearms Museum.
