Default help valuing 1917 artillery

Hi - new to the forum and quite naive to lugers. I have one that my wife's cousin brought back from the war. He's no longer alive and I don't have any way of sleuthing it out except to ask those who know. I have learned quite a bit by reading this forum. Thank you all for being so free with your expertise. The 1917 is in really fantastic shape with all matching numbers except on the magazine. The holster is in amazing condition except that the little keeper flap on the top is hanging on by a thread. The cleaning rod is a little rusty, and whatever was supposed to be in the top little pocket in the top flap is missing. The stamp inside the top flap says" R. Guiremand", next line "Berlin S.W." next line "1917". I have plenty of photos including some poor ones of the bright, clean bore. Thanks for any help.
Cheers.
