My dad is thinking about buying one. Any idea how much there worth? I don't know squat about em.

"Fair condition, functions as it should. Handling marks from years of use. No cracks in wood. One Chip on bottom of the butt. Needs a good cleaning. Bore has signs of rust and fouling."

Hmmm...."Bore has signs of rust and fouling".....
That could be an easy fix with some aggressive cleaning....or might be a sign of needing a new barrel....
All depending on how bad it is.
A close up look at the the lock...it appears that the hammer screw is missing.

In that condition....
I wouldn't pay more than $50 - $75 for it , If I could inspect the bore and if I thought that the bore could be saved....
If this is an online only purchase. , and I couldn't inspect it first.....honestly I'd pass on it.

Edit to add....
Bore condition plays a large role here...it is easy to clean and maintain a black powder firearm...
However ...many folks do not for whatever reason.
The missing hammer screw...may be a easy fix...if it is completely missing...
If it is broken off and part left in place..then it may be a PITA to fix.
If the bore was in very good - excellent shape...and no missing parts...it might fetch $200.
Take care of your firearms.

This and the fact its a CVA should call it a 'pass'.

CVAs were not made of the best materials and moving parts wear fairly quickly if the gun is used any above average amount.

I know - I've owned a couple.
