Does it come with a wooden shoulder stock? If it has one, the metal piece that attaches the stock to the lug on the back of the Luger will have a serial number stamped on it. Holsters are not serial numbered, except for some police sets. The holster should have a date pressed into the leather, is it 1916 as is the gun? If the same year, then it is considered a matched rig.

What you have is a Imperial period LP-08 or commonly referred to as an "Artillery" model. The magazine is from WW II, while workable is not correct to this gun.

Checkered grips are correct to this Luger.

Is there a long wooden handle cleaning rod in the sleeve of the holster? If so that adds to the value.
