To be matching, all the normally numbered parts need to be checked.

I can't really judge the finish from your photos, but if it's all original, this could be a collectable Luger.

Take future photos outdoors in indirect (shaded) sunlight. Set your digital camera on closeup and use a tripod and the self timer to eliminate camera shake.

Get closeups of the serial number and suffix letter on the front of the frame and on the bottom of the barrel. The suffix letter is part of the serial number.

If a "shooter" (any part mismatched and/or refinished) it's worth $900-$1000. If a collectable with 95% finish it's worth $1500+.
