Hi, and welcome to the forums.

The use of flash washes out the finish, and makes it hard to judge it.

It's a 1911 military proofed and unit marked Luger that appears to be in original finish.

If all the parts numbers match, and the finish is above 80%, it is collectable.

There were fewer Lugers made earlier before WW-I which may make it more desirable, especially for a collector looking to fill out each year.

I can't make out the suffix letter. Is the serial number 6688c ?

It's hard for me to value the earlier Imperial Lugers. I would think at least $1300 and likely more...
