Don, As Jim & John have said it's not enough to really say for certain. It certainly looks to have strong possibilities. Looks original and unmessed with. I would say in the collectable catagory untill you find a mismatched part! You will have to do a thorough internal inspection.
Grips look fine..All it needs is a good wood bottom mag.

An accurate value is impossible without more information. It could be a $700 shooter or a $1500 collector piece. If you do determine it is all matching..DO NOT shoot it! A broken part or grip will immdiately cut the value drastically.

The mag you show is sort of beat up. It might be salvageable with the proper bluing and one of Tom Hellers bottoms. Would be a project though.

Not having the correct period mag hurts it value wise. A wood bottom mag in the same condition as the pistol would run $200-250+
