As a shooter, one is worth $500 now, I bet he paid $50 for it in the 50's, as that was a weeks work for a man. $500 would have been like $5000 now?

Anyway, if in good shape, all matching, then it is worth around $800 for one in decent shape, then as condition weighs in, $1000, maybe more.

When you say documentation, that would be? And case, is it a wood case someone made or a holster? All add value, just depends on what it is.
