    Your A-5 is a 1969 production gun.
    The two ** denotes Modified choke.
    You don't say whether plain or vent rib barrel.
    To use 80% and perfect in the same sentence----is kind of a misnomer.
    Perfect and 95% plus would make the gun a potential collector piece.
    An 80% A-5 and assuming a vent rib and original length stock (flat knob) and butt plate would make a nice "shooter", with a value in the $450-$475 range.

    Since you edited your post and added some information, I'll do the same.
    I had assumed Vent rib, but if we're now at 90% and Good condition, Blue Book puts the value @$575.
    Still would be considered a "shooter", but a nice one at that!
