It's hard to judge your DWM s/n 2800d from the photos due to focus and the use of flash.

It looks like it's been refinished, especially if the trigger and safety lever are blue instead of the more golden "straw" color. The edges on the rear of the receiver look like they have been buffed.

If reblued, it would be shooter grade, perhaps $800-$900 unless there is something else very special about it.

The WW-II era magazines are worth $125-$150 each if they are in excellent condition.

The 1942 holster is probably worth $175-$225 if original (not a reproduction) in good condition with stitching intact.

The GeCo police holster may be worth more. There is a holster specialist on this board that should know it's value.
