Need info on 1916 DWM Luger

Is that a date of 1934 on the holster?
About the gun, we still need to know more about the internal numbers to be certain that they match. If that rear toggle link is the only stray part, just remember that one of every 99 out there is the one you need.
So do you want to sell or just understand its value? Probably worth more to you because of the family connection, and once you sell it, it is gone, gone, gone.
If someone approached me with that gun and holster, I'd want to pay no more than $900, but a new guy wanting their first shooter/low end collector Luger might give you closer to $1100. And I admit that I am a card-carrying, bottom feeding, cheap S.O.B. That's why I have more guns than regrets. But let's see what the others say about that.
And the book guys can tell you what the grip frame "unit marks" represent too.
Nice gun.
