Welcome!
Seems to me that a very good cleaning and preservation will go a long ways.
While I'd not throw it in the bottom of the bag to take to the river to blast away with, I'd not be afraid to carefully shoot it a bit either. Those older guns may be a smidge more fragile than the slightly newer ones.
Regardless whether it is a shooter or collectable, clean it up, protect your heiloom/investment and enjoy it. There are always other Lugers out there to buy as either shooters or collecters.
Value with holster, maybe $750 to $1000 depending on which side of the counter you are standing.
Remember that one man's shooter may be another man's collecter depending on how many or how nice his other Lugers are.
