Haenel Mod V, repeater collectable?

[john de Beck]

For years, I have kept my dad's original Haenel repeating air rifle Model V (bought new in 1932) which he used to teach me shooting and hunting. It still works, but I need to replace lost original rear sight, and replace or repair the spring-loaded pawl that advances the rotary magazine. While it has sentimental value, my male heirs are not really interested, and perhaps it should go to a collector. I do want to pass it on in as original a state as possible. So does anyone have a rear sight for it, or know a gunsmith capable of making or reparing the pawl? or can anyone offer an OPINION (non binding) of its value for a collector? The only non-original feature is some checkering of good quality on the grip.
