The holster would cost $100 plus to restore and the pistol about $800 not counting the rear sight which may cost another $300. Hate to be a jerk,which I am, but your restoration costs are going to approach the real value of the restored pistol. Depending on what was paid, this artillery may have been a bad buy, if you are in for less than $600 you may want to consider "parting it out".

As a commentary on current markets, I might offer that you holster... properly restored may well be worth more than the pistol.
