  Thuer conversions were done on a variety of models. It should have matching assembly #s on the Thuer ring & the back of the cylinder. Not a lot have survived, & fakes are common.
  
  The only way to determine it's value is to have it examined by an expert. Or, you can buy a few hundred $ worth of books. But, since you don't own the gun, & probably don't want to spend money researching it, you may just want to post high quality digital photos. Failing that, I doubt that any of us can help.
