C96 value?

so it is or isn't an original finish? to my knowledge, it's had this finish since the mid 40's, when my grandfather acquired it from France, prior to that i'm unsure. $1200 a good insurance value? to be clear, it is a 5.5" barrel (measured with a dowel). i have no plans to sell; the value is for insurance paperwork, which must be at "fair market value" and can be adjusted later in claims. this, along with a few other firearms are family heirlooms. thank you so much everyone.

is it normal for small parts to have that iridescent oily look? it's on most small parts, including the extractor, safety, tangent sight, and a few others.
