Hi Aaron, and welcome to the forum.

It's better if pictures can be posted right here on the forum instead of external sites since later external references often disappear.

You look like you have a nice Mauser luger in original finish. With the wear and pitting, there are some finish condition issues. Some of those issues may result from the pistol being stored in the holster. In the future store it separately.

The holster appears original to me. So does the tool. The tool pocket was normally stitched the way your's is.

You can get retail values for similar pistols off Internet sales sites like Simpson's Ltd, FGS Firearms and Checkpointcharlies.com. This would be an insurance value.

My guess at a collector value if the pistol is all matching (including the internal parts, proper internal trigger plate s/n - related to the first two digits of the s/n) - and 80% finish coverage is about $1100 to $1200. Take down tool is probably $85 and the holster $225.

Cheers!

Marc
