Nice old war horse. I think it earned it's right to be retired by now, though, even when it is in less than pristine condition. Preserve it and enjoy it for what it is, an honest 1913 DWM.
The blued magazine with the black plastic bottom may well be a late Haenel type magazine with bakelite bottom. These magazines have a decent market value of their own.
On the other hand, it may just be a post war 'shooter grade' magazine. Hard to tell without photo.
