Remington Mod. 200 Lever-Action 30-30??

Ok, I don't know a whole lot about lever action rifles, but came across a Remington Model 200 Lever-Action in 30-30 and I can't find a reference for it in Fjestad's Blue Book. When I first glanced at it, I thought it was a Marlin. Can anyone give me any insight and a rough idea of its value in "fair" condition?
Thanks in advance,
Joe

To the best of my knowledge, Remington has manufactured very few lever action rifles. None of them centerfires.
Marlin on the other hand has manufactured many of their lever action centerfires to be sold, using "Trade Names" or as "Store Brand" guns. Perhaps their is some confusion regarding this?
... you sure it's not a Revelation Model 200 ? These were made by Marlin for Western Auto, look like a Marlin 336.
LOL. My wife has been telling me I need glasses! I stopped by the shop I had seen it at yesterday and looked more closely; yes, it is a "Revelation Model 200."
In an attempt to try to prove to my wife that I still don't need those glasses -- I will note that the "Revelation" stamping is significantly worn, especially along the top of the lettering, making it appear, under just a quick glance, somewhat like "Remington." (Of course, that doesn't explain how I missed the "Western Auto" stamped on the barrel too!)
Thanks for the input.
