The finish appears to have received moderate to heavy buffing and has been re-blued as evidenced by bluing over pitting. The grips are not original and appear to be Vopo (East German).

The other key questions I'd have in trying to evaluate the pistol would be markings/condition of the magazine, bore condition, and which parts do/do not match.

The re-blue, buffing and damage around the receiver serial number relegate it to "shooter" status. Here in the USA its value would be not more than $900 USD and very possibly less depending on the answers to the questions mentioned.
