I just inherited a 1964 T54 handgun from my grandfather that he brought back from Vietnam. There are no papers on them and frame and slide serial numbers match. If I were to sale this how much is it worth? Thanks in advance.

Condition is everything in pricing. Matching #'s is good, if it had bring back paper even better. Issue holster and the extra magazine would be a plus.
need good pic's for a proper evaluation of condition. here are instructions http://forums.GunBroker.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=259294
added I shot the red star rusky version some back in the early 70's. Fairly hot round even by todays standards. The CZ 52 was interesting. 2 mags, holster and pistol for $160 in the early 90's. Hopefully you meant insurance value, family heirlooms are priceless.

You may or not know, that without official "bring home" papers, the collector value is less. Word of mouth of obtained war trophy ownership, even when truely believed by a potential buyer, is just that... word of mouth without documentation.
Go over to the auction side, sign up there, and one may then view sold prices on firearms for reference of todays market. Though what you have may probably be a hit-or-miss when one may come up for auction?
And I did not read you saying you "wanted" to sell, which would be no one else's biziness anyhow, so with that, welcome to the forum.

P.S EDITTo add to Mr Christian's statement of non- imported, as what you have-- an imported firearm will have the importing company's name stamped on the item, often on the barrel, and therefore is less value than un-marked.
