Default Need help establishing a fair trade/buy value on 1917

First and for most, this is not an add, I am not selling this.

An acquaintance has an original military issued 1917, it was issued to an officer in ww1. He also has the original belt and holster. The revolver is in very good condition. No rust, no pitting, just some very light bluing wear on the barrel and cylinder. The original owner was stateside throughout the war ..... which is why I believe the gun and the accessories are in such good condition. The acquaintance worked for the original owner in the 1950's and purchased it then, and has had it in his collection since. I have been offered the opportunity to purchase it but neither of us know a fair value.... I don't want to rip him off but I don't want to overspend either

....can anyone advise what a reasonable offer would be?

Once again, I'm not selling, I'm only asking for advice so as to make an educated offer to add to my collection. Thanks for your help, John
