Old Belgium Browning Auto-5 Value?

[Firesweep]

I have an old 1960's Browning Auto-5 12ga. Magnum and would like to know an estimated value if anyone would be kind enough to help me put a dollar amount on it. With the bad economy I'd prefer not to use auction value since people are desperate to sell these days. Blue book value would be nice.

That 6V serial number has me totally confused.

The wood looks awesome, you should take some close-up pics of the markings.

I wiped off the last two number with Photoshop. I believe the V represents the Magnum Model and the 6 indicates it was made in 1966. I could be wrong. I know these things are a dime a dozen. But I like mine because the stock outshines most Auto-5's I have seen.
