Depends on how original it is, looks in very nice shape, but sometimes it is hard to tell if it has been refinished.

You do seem to have an aptitude for brevity, and more information to us is always helpful. I am sure you like us giving you information and it is a bit helpful to get the same in return.

On value, it usually is something like this, condition, condition, condition.

Lets say for instance that it has a large scratch or bad pitting on the reverse, well that drops the collector value a lot. So start off at $400-$500 for a "shooter" value and go up, if it was all original, no hold open etc., in really excellent shape, maybe $1,200 - $1,500?

A holster in good shape $85-$150 depending on year and condition.

Extra magazine is worth $50 - $125

All depends on how nice it is, most guns from WW1
go from $750 - $1,000, but who knows?

I like to go to Ralph Shattucks and Simpson's websites and check prices of comparable values, then deduct 20 %, at least that is one way I check values.
