Post Newbie - 1917 Erfurt all matching

I've been following the forum off an on now for some time. And the recent discussion (from March?) on whether to shoot a collector piece got me wondering just where my model fits. It's all matching and original, given to my grandfather (a doctor in the army) after it was removed from the german who he treated in the field and who subsequently tried to shoot my grandfather (or so the story goes).

Anyways, original matching number grips (no chips), single matching number clip, snail drum (I don't have immediate access to it to check the numbers), all original bluing in very good shape (unrestored and very likely unused in the last 80 years, no rust or pitting).

Original holster in very good shape, marked:

F.Shultz
Offenbachym
1916

(2nd last letter of 2nd line is my best guess). Take-down tool intact. The holster also has a hand-written note from my grandfather on white medical tape that says something to the effect that 'this gun is always loaded' (the note's pretty hard to read now).

I had thought that Erfurts weren't the most desirable, but given the matching numbers and mostly complete set of 'stuff' (except a 2nd clip?) I was wondering if I should consider this a collector piece or something less.
