If the condition of the Model 12 is good enough to be considered 95% it would be sought after by any Winchester collector or shooter. While a gun that belonged to your father may never be "for sale",(and indeed it's priceless) you should consider its value for insurance purposes. Most household policies offer next to nothing if stolen or damaged by fire, etc.
So no disrespect to "gunut", but IF it's 95% condition, I'd double his quoted price/value for insurance purposes ... something closer to $1,200 as a replacement value. Ask your agent if your home insurance policy has a rider for items like guns.
