looks like you likely have an original matching 1916 dwm navy luger barrel + slide , and slide has a non-matching dwm toggle assembly from a commercial likely 1920s era commercial luger in the slide. caliber should be 9mm luger. germany stamp on the barrel would likely indicate a ww1 part merged into the remainder of the commercial luger
the non-matching lower frame asy looks like a 1920s era commercial luger
if frame parts are marked with 11 or 80 numbers that would help value
if barrel bore is shiny and looks sharp edges on the rifling that would help value
parts look like mostly original blue and mechanically excellent
grips look maybe ww1 ish and would help if numbered inside with last two digits of the barrel serial ( ie original from the same 1916 navy ) but that is not very likely
if magazine is as nice as rest of gun that would help value and any number on wood base would be interesting if matches the navy barrel ( again not likely )
assuming all the help items are "yes" Im thinking you have about value $1200 due to parts
and also there should be interest for a "navy" shooter. $500 seems very low and probably a reseller or parts hunter case.
overall this seems like a 6" barrel optioned 1920/23 dwm commercial import with mainly ww1 derived parts , refurbished in germany and sold by an importer in usa to post ww1 market for lugers. I think only one part like barrel or frame required the germany mark for import.
some of these were upgraded in usa with longer barrels etc
really nice ! shooter , semi collector value , I think
good luck ! with the sale - consider placing for sale here in the forum section - after you get more opinions as to value
seems to me you would want to keep it in family - esp if only collector type gun in the estate
