It appears that there is no marking on the pistol which would identify it as being either military or police issue. Therefore, it cannot be valued at more than a standard commercial example, somewhere in the neighborhood of $350. The capture certificate only verifies that it was brought back after WWII, but that is as far as it goes. It certainly may have been carried by an enemy combatant, but it is just as likely that it was confiscated from a civilian. The holster is very interesting, but not military or police marked. It is in nice condition, and is probably worth $100 to $150. I would estimate the value of the entire rig at about $500.
