Default p.08 value?

i've recently come into possession of a p.08, and have transcribed some notes here concerning it. i will attach photos as soon as i am able. as the pistol is an inheritance, i would like to insure it against loss, but require a value. i don't want to shortchange my family, or over estimate it, either. any help is greatly appreciated.

i've disassembled the pistol once using careful methods and a few guides. the below are findings from my notes.

serial number 7992ns, marked 1937, S/42. 95% finish. my grandfather's "certificate of personal souvenir" (it only says "CERTIFICATE" in underline), dated 1944, and two magazines (one with a matte aluminum(?) base with stamps in 95% condition, and other a wooden base and very little blue left).

all small parts are matching with the last 2 digits of the serial number. original finish 95%, matching magazine (cross, stick eagle over 63, matching serial number to the gun), finish on most small parts is peacock blue, (none are straw yellow). all edges are sharp, all stamps and marks are crisp with halos. grips are wood with sharp checkering.

the wooden magazine has a faint 3410 + marked on it.

the bore is bright and shiny, zero pitting, no rust i could find on anything, some yellowed oil in places. fully functional without any binding or other problems.

thank you so much for any help. i will post photos as soon as i am able.
