You have a 1917 Deutsch Waffen und Munitionsfabriken (DWM) Luger. So it is definitely a World War One example.

The matching magazine is a big plus; however, the broken wooden bottom is a big minus too. Do you know if the grips match too?

A dealer has one of these with a matching magazine too, 96% blue remaining, but a frosted bore, for $1,650.00. So you have a "great" bore, but a damaged wooden bottom on the matching magazine.

I am not sure what to make of that holster. Are there any markings on it? Is it "homemade"? Maybe someone else can help you with the holster.

Hope this helps.
