Erik,
The markings on the brass disk indicate the unit to which the Luger was issued. I am not positive, but perhaps the LAS.6/1 on your Luger means "Laivastoasema" (I hope I spelled it correctly!) which I think means navy base. So I believe your Luger was assigned to Navy Base 6 and is weapon number 1.
I hesitate to guess the value of Lugers because it can vary widely depending on condition, country and other factors. I can safely say that your Luger and holster are worth quite a bit more than $1000 US but I do not have a better number. Perhaps one of the other forum members can give you a more accurate evaluation.
