I would have someone look at it that really knows antique gun values. If nothing else, find a current book on them to give you some idea. This can be dangerous because small differences in the gun can greatly affect value. Any restoration you do will lessen the value, almost guaranteed. If it is not in safe condition to shoot, have someone who is familiar with vintage doubles repair it, but don't "restore" it. If made in the 1930's it should be safe to shoot with modern ammo. Shotguns made with "twist" or "damascus" steel barrels are definitely not safe to use, but those were discontinued before the 1930's.
