value of 1915 Luger (told it was WWI Luftwaffe)

The pistol appears to be a standard issue WW1 1915 P08. Look on the front grip strap for any unit marking but if there is none there is no evidence that this was issued to the Luftwaffe. Perhaps some documents exist at your father's home or the museum that would confirm this. The holster looks almost identical to one I have that is marked to a Dragoon Regiment -- same manner, font and size marks between the belt loops. Mine, like yours is dated 1911 as indicated by the 11 on the back AND it is made of old Reichsrevolver holster parts. Yours looks like it might also be made of RR parts from the look of the front of the holster body (but the photo is not quite clear enough).

I may have a holster that accompanied yours. Your holster is in nice shape and is rare. Don't store the gun in it or stress the holster. Keep it just as it is.
