1911 Erfurt

I have an update for you guys, sorry to have you running in circles. The Erfurt 1911 is all-matching, with all original parts. The serial number is in the 3000 area. After the thorough cleaning, finish appears to be in the 80-85% range with a small ammount of pitting. The barrel is 9mm, not .30. Here's the hitch. The barrel had a substantial ammount of corosion in the center of the bore, giving it an hourglass shape. The gunsmith cleaned it as best he could, but told us it would not be a good idea to shoot. With all these things in mind, can anyone give me a value on it (Not selling it or considering selling it, would just like to know)?
