C96 value?

Chaz, I think $1200 is probably on the low side of the retail range. Were you to replace it today, I suspect you'd be paying closer to $1800. For a wartime gun, it appears to be in excellent condition, uncommon in these old timers. If you visit GunsAmerica or GunBroker, you can search for similar Broomhandles or Mauser pistols and make your own comparisons.
You have a wonderful family treasure on your hands. If there were any stories about how your Grandfather got the gun, write them down and keep them with the gun. They are part of your Grandfather's history during the war.

Regards,
John
