It needs a good, proper cleaning and oiling, the holster leather looks dry, maybe "dead". But overall a very nice find. I don't see any signs of molestation, but it is assembled incorrectly with the upper assembly slightly rearwards.
Wish I could find one in my attic...
Regarding value, I will guess somewhere around $2k in today's climate. Offered to the public, I'd start a bit over, maybe $2250, and be ready to come down. But 2 matching mags. is pretty rare so lets see what the experienced collectors have to say.
Welcome aboard, AND DON'T SHOOT IT.
