Ken,
As you can see by my "signature" my collecting interests are firmly lodged in the Imperial era, so my qualifications for evaluating WWII pieces are challenged to say the least. Your Luger, although very nice, is a mis-match and it is not a factory error. Tac's assessment is probably close to the mark. The holster is also in quite good condition and clearly marked. It is contemporary with your Luger and would be appropriate for it. I am afraid I will have to yield to others with more interest and experience in holsters of its vintage but I think it is safe to say that its value is in the $200 range, possibly more.

By the way, you are fortunate to have a very nice Luger that you can shoot to your heart's content without fear of destroying a valuable collector's item. Have fun!
