Also, on the underside of the barrel (between the s/n on the barrel, and the receiver) it is stamped with what appears to be: 8, 33

Lands and groove diameter.

1) What does a lack of markings on the front strap indicate? I see a lot of these guns with regimental markings, mine has none...does this mean it did not see duty?
No..This pistol has guite a duty history..First Army then Police. Front grip strap markings are unit marks. This pistol was just never unit marked.

What does the magazine look like?

assesing a value is difficult without knowing a lot more. Bore condition? matching? Lots of questions..

What did you pay?
