Is the sideplate number 92? All hidden numbers should be a 92 (military guns were externally numbered with last 2 of the sn), and don't take into account some internal markings of letters or an odd number on frame insides etc.

If mismatched, then it is worth around $500-$700

Thanks for the come back.
All numbers I can find are matching but then I don't know where to look to make sure I got all of them.
The marks by the the rear ears is some surface crap that I should have wiped off before I took the pics.
This pistol had been in the back of my Dad's sock drawer for at least 50 years. I think it has seen the light of day less than 5 times in all that time. After he passed and it came to light, I shot 3 or 4 rounds through it to see what it was like, cleaned it and put it away again.
There is some minor holster wear on the left side of the barrel near the tip and a little on the left grip where the checkering isn't as sharp as it could be.
Other than that I don't think the pictures do it justice.
I am going to take some more detailed pics using indirect lighting.

Be safe, and thanks for your service.
