Can anyone hazard to venture a value on this 1936 S/42? All matching numbers 3899h. Finish is worn to bare metal on typical raised edges and rear of toggle. Some freckling along grip straps. Straw starting to fade to silver-ish. Nice bore. non-matching magazine, and no serial number on the inside of the grips, though there is some letter proofs:

From what I see, it looks OK, but I have missed details in the past. Anything wrong?
What should I realistically be willing to pay. I've been wanting a '36 for some time, and this is the nicest one I've found in my price range (seller wants $1400).

Thanks in advance!
