Darn thing can't be too old as the previous model name was 742 and they didn't change names for the model till late 80's or the 90's. If beat up a bit it was just owned by a guy that used it and didn't worry about it. As stated..clean her up and try it out. Not too much you can do to hurt them. They are not bad shooters. Now one word of caution...DO NOT TAKE APART. They are a booger to put back together. Oh and try to beat the shop owner for the gun by telling him you'll take out the door at that price. He eats the tax and you save a little. He might do it
