Help on pricing

I had a guy call on my ad. He has a 1939 luger and a 1943 (sn check) Colt 45 from his father who brought them back but died 4 years ago. This guy is facing some surgery and wants to sell both. I haven't been keeping up much on prices lately, and I know it is hard to comment without pictures, but what are those worth. I am going to look at them tomorrow, then I'll know better. He said the luger is 98% blue, matching numbers, but I'm not sure about internal yet until I look. It has a mag, but I didn't ask if it was matching. He said the Colt was in nice shape and he looked the SN up and it is a 1943 produced. So, lets say both are nice and luger is matching, but nothing rare on either. Would they be worth $1500 each. That is what he wants to get out of them. He may talk a little, but assuming they are both nice, is that too far above norm, norm, or a good deal. I would appreciate your opinions on this inspite of the fact you can't see what you are commenting on.
