I am pretty sure you have an original condition piece. An overzealous cleaning by someone in its past has removed the white material from the "GESICHERT" safety marking, so that will be a point of alarm for some folks. It is difficult to assess value from photos and several more views of the overall gun will be required to even give a ballpark estimation of worth. I do not do value estimations but additional photos may help others give you an idea.
