Without knowing anything about the condition, there is no way of giving you an indication as to top value.
Several years ago, I sold a "Like New" Marlin Model 1893 for $3,500.00. And, it was the least desirable version one would want being a round barrel .30-30 with a "D" serial number prefix. The gun was really like new, but who wants a round barrel .30-30? Go by average prices you see on some of the internet auction sites to get an idea. That way, when you get to the auction, you will have a better idea as to condition and what they go for in that overall condition.
Good luck........
