Tony,
The pictured 1906 has the short frame. Drop down to the Navy Lugers and look at the frame on Tom A's '04 Navy for a long frame. The entire contour of the front of the frame on a long frame is different.
I would hate to make a judgement call on the sideplate just from the pictures, but the color and wear seem to be consistent with the rest of the pistol.
Again this is just a judgement call, but I don't see a 97% Luger. It shows more than 3% wear and the blue that is there is very thin in places. The grip checkering has been chased by someone that didn't know what they were doing. My guess on value would be in the $1000/1200 range unless the pistol looks better than the pictures.
