C96 value?

No kidding. How can this be original finish. But, don't be frustrated. Value depends on viewers. At least, it's a genuine German made 9mm. Back a few days ago, a converted 9mm (from 7,63mm) in refurbished mode attracted bidding at $2000 on gunbroker.com. And, there were more than one bidder.... Fortunately (or unfortunately ??), $2000 was still lower than seller's reserve. But the gun disappeared, probably bidder and seller compromised and settled somewhere slightly higher than $2000? God knows.

Given 9mm "Selbstlader" marked (in five Hanji) assembled from Schnellfeuer parts in 1980s steadily goes around $1200 nowadays, refurbished vs refurbished, this Red 9's value should be a little bit higher that, IMO. But many players were attracted by the removable magazine, and your Red 9 is fixed magazine, that's a disadvantage on your gun. So, that reference dollar number may not work.
