Rick, you appear to have a mixture of a 1914 imperial proofed DWM receiver and toggle train, a barrel from the Nazi era (re-barrel) and a Mauser frame (note the Mauser hump). The barrel with the Nazi proof was probably added during the Third Reich period but the rest is just conjecture. These re-works, or "hodge-podge" lugers are generally looked upon as shooters with little collector interest. No one can say exactly when the various parts came together. Value of something like this, retail, would be about $800-$1000 but if you had to sell to a dealer, you'd be lucky to get $500-$600 for it. The grips could had been added by a GI at the end of WW2 and the swastika is a fantasy addition.
