Brett..consider a pistol that has been in a dark moist basement..it is rusted and pitted..that is part of it's history too but does not neccessarily make it more appealing to collectors.
Your pistol has been modified from it's original state..MOST collectors prefer to see a pistol that is all original.
Yours is not only chromed but is a commercial pistol, likely in .30 Luger. Even if it were in it's original state a .30 Luger commercial is a low dollar pistol.
I would say the offer of $300 in today's economy was somewhat low but not totally off the mark. I would say $450 might be closer to it's worth but not much more than that.
Being your Father's gives it much more value than a dollar amount.
Thanks for showing and welcome to the Forum!
