Looks like the wood has been refinished to me. Numbers not matching and parkerized, not blued, receiver indicates Russian Capture. There is no way it would be that clean without a refinish if it is a RC.
Just my opinion, take it or leave it.
I put value at $350 range with another $50-$75 for the bayo. Also depends how fast you want to sell it.

This sounds about right , when it comes to these old war horses condition is everything. The collector value is gone as the numbers don't match and it's been refinished. Would make a great shooter.
I like the fact that its refinshed. just my opinion.
Does it have the Nazi markings on it? I want one so bad haha I am a huge history buff. Currently teaching WW2 to my students so I have been more interested in one. Have you shoot it?
If you look on the third pic down next to the serial number you will see the german eagle with a circle under it, in that circle is a swastica
Double check with Passdaboolits at Bartow Knife and Gun Co. He has one hanging on the wall and for the life of me I can't remember what he had it priced at. He got input from several people as to a fair selling price.
In that circle "WAS" as Swastika, it was peened out by the Russians. See how deep the circle is? It was hit with a hammer and a punch.
This is what is should look like
