I think before a near estimate can be provided we must see some photos. But in the mean time here are facts for the Basis of Estimate (BOE)

A shooter Luger = $600-800
A 16inch Barrel kit has sold in the last 6 months for about $100-150
Reproduction Stocks $125-200
Labor by Gunsmith to change and Headspace the new barrel and make it work reliably $150-200
Shipping - at least $50
Profit to the seller ? must be considered, but who knows how much?

The custom leather? depends on the usefulness and the quality.

This should give you some idea on why the $1900 is probably a little steep...
