Just bought P.38 w/matching mag

It is an AC 41 d suffix pistol with 60-65 percent original finish and all matching including mag. I paid less than $500. The 2004 Blue Book lists the value at $500 and I've always thought that book undervalued WWII firearms. How common are P.38s with matching mags and how much does a mag add to the value? Regardless, considering the overpriced Russian capture P.38s are priced around $500, I consider any original P.38 priced under $500 to be a good deal. I would post a picture but I am not set up to do photos at home.
