Even the grip screws are acceptance marked with an E/6 on a Simson.

You've got a nice original finish Simson that looks like it's probably all matching (except, as you mention, the magazine).

Please consider that breaking any part will considerably drop it's value, and that there were only about 11,000 Simson Lugers ever made. For that reason, I think it would be wise to clean and lubricate it with preserving gun oil, but don't consider firing it.

If you remove the grip panels, be careful not to chip the left grip near the safety lever. Many grips were broken that way.

Congratulations on a very collectible Luger!
