    Steve, From the serial number your gun is an ejector gun (the "E" in the number), and was manufactured in 1923. Small gauge guns are desirable and graded guns even more so, and ejectors command a premium.
    That said, condition is the driving force behind value. I suggest you look at the Blue Book of Gun Values with the condition of your gun in mind to get a ball-park value. You might also look at one or more of the auction sites to obtain recent sale prices of comparable guns.
