1894 Marlin "takedown"?

I have a 1894 Marlin .38-40 which has a takedown mechanism. There is a yoke (for lack of a better word) just ahead of the lower receiver that swings out to the left. You then withdraw the magazine tube about 3/4" and open the breech. The barrel then unscrews from the receive. The rifle has a 24" barrel and crescent butt. The bore is very good and the overall finish is an even patina. The "Blue Book" doesn't cover a takedown. What would be a "ballpark" of it's value.
Serial # 118,XXX
Thank you,

Taperloc.

  taperloc,
  Gun Traders Guide shows the "model 94" to come
  w/solid frame or takedown.Made 1894-1934,before
  1906 designated "Model 1894".
  $895 in excellent condition,but this book is
  7-8 years old.Don't have my new book handy.[:(]
  
  IT'S WHAT PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THEMSELVES THAT MAKES THEM AFRAID.
