Need help with information on a newly acquired P08

Well I recently acquired a P08 9mm from my uncle, he told me that a friend of his brought this pistol back from WWII. It is still in pretty good condition with holster wear on the blueing. My uncle said he shot it years ago and has sat in the safe since.

I was told that it was 1941. It has byf markings so it is a Mauser from what I have read. Serial # is 52** It has all matching numbers on the exterior components except the mag. I have popped the grips off yet to check them and havent broken the gun down either. Any information would be greatly appreciated. And also what kind of value could I see on this piece. I dont have the pistol with me at the moment, I left it at my fathers because he wanted to check it out.

Here are some pics though. I know that in order to get a true assessment on value that I will have to take more pictures.

It also came with a holster with a stamp on the inside of bdr44. From what I have been told on another site, the holster is a P38 holster.

I basically want to confirm date of manufacture and possibly value? Thanks for any info and help.
