Hello CG,

The best place for soemthing like this is in the for sale section, just below all other postings.

Pictures of condition, approx price for it and pictures would probably sell it fairly fast. Prices can fluctuate, but if it hasn't been reblued and is all matching (all parts must be correct), low end should be $750 - $900, but of course everything depends on condition. If the magazines are original, they are worth $50 or so each and up, depending on condition and if they are marked. The holster, being modified is probably worth $50 to $75 and the tool from $25 - 55, depending on if it is marked and original.

These are all low end values and a true collector able to look at pictures or the real gun and pieces can give you a true estimate.

(And if the gun is mismatched, reblued or in bad shape, then $350 - $500 for it.)
