Help valuing a 1938 S/42

As you know it is hard to be precise because there is no "book value", but Id agree with Marc's estimate of $1350. It appears to be a good honest example that has clearly seen some use. How does that estimate line up with what you were thinking?

I would leave the holster "as is", I think it shows honest use by an American GI. Kinda cool, and a little different.
