Was given by friend who found in a loft 30 year's ago . All parts working with firing pin. Any idea of value.

I would guess at 150-200. That is just a guess with the hope that the bore is in good shape. Whoever purchases it is going to need to find a set of wood for it, barrel bands, screws and the front sight, etc. That will be a substantial investment to bring that gun back to original condition with it only having "restored" financial and collector value.
