No idea what you could add for the documentation and the history.
The Nambu, as a nice later model, isn't worth as much as a small trigger guard pre-war model, but as a rig, that about more than compensates. I'd guess the pistol itself is about a 550.00 gun and add about 300.00 more for the holster, spare pin and the very rare box of original ammo.

Thanks for the help. I'm also kind of stuck trying to figure out how to calculate the $ value of historical significance. I've looked around but can't find any past auctions of Gen. Breckinridge's pistols for reference
I paid about $5k for everything so maybe I'll just use that amount as a compromise. It's a bit high for strict gun value but I suspect a bit low considering the historical significance.
