How bad is it that my Black Widow's mag and holster don't match?

I have a quite nice byf 42 black widow style gun which is all matched to the S/N 1443i (no bore gage number).

Trouble is that the mag is an aluminum based style and the holster is a Criese 1961/9 which I believe is a P38/P1 police holster. How much devaluation should I expect to take on this gun in light of these mismatched accessories should I decide to sell it?

Thanks for your replies !! Nancy

The holster is worth very little, $25-$50 at most (to me), the aluminum magazine is not unexpected to be seen with this, so not a devaluation unless it is not a WW2 era mag.
