I am not sure why you have not gotten a direct answer, but I see you've asked the value 3 or 4 times.

It looks VERY nice, I think too nice for a 100 year old gun.

The Test Lugers run in the 6100-7100 serial number range (that is what is commonly said); I looked it up- and it is within the Bannerman numbers, which is very nice.

Value depends; if "restored" it is worth around $1,800 and if original and in this shape $2800 or so.

If the holster is a true test holster it is worth $1500-$2000, however there have been reproductions for years and if so, only worth about $75. It could also be just a luger holster or a civilian commercial one and that would not be worth a ton of money.

Whether restored or not, it is a piece of history and one many collectors would like to own.
