Hi Raymond, and welcome to the forum.

An all matching Luger with matching magazine is more rare to find, as the magazines were often mixed up as the pistols were used during the war and after.

You would expect the grips on a 1939 Mauser made code "42" Luger to be wood, so it's likely that these were replaced at some time. Unfortunately, that makes the Luger non-matching.

Depending on the degree of finish wear and the pitting, I would agree with David's estimate. Perhaps more. Max of about $1000.

The "+" sign on the magazine indicates it was the second of two supplied with the Luger .

It will be interesting to see if the grips are original to the period...
