1936 S/42

This is my first post. I concluded from looking at this site for several days this is where the best pool of information resides.

One of the pistols I aquired from my father who is now deceased is a war trophy 1936 S/42 with about 98% original blueing, about 75% original strawing, perfect bore, no dings or scratches, perfect wooden grips. The parts are all matching serial number and the magazine is blued with an aluminum base. The mag serial number does not match, but is close in number.

I don't have any way to post pictures as my computer scanner is on the fritz. I'd like an idea as to whether this a collector class weapon or shooter as described and an idea as to it's value, though I have no intention of selling it. I would also like forum members thoughts on a proper authentic holster and take-down tool and how much I should pay for them.

I have more information on this pistol's history if anyone is interested.

Thank you for your attention and any information you can provide.
