Welcome to the forum Tommy,
This pic is a start... For the gun, close-ups of proofs, full view of each side, top, bottom, rear, front of frame. For example, the chances of a cursive letter suffix, which would be part of the complete serial number and found along with the 4 numbers stamped on the nose of the grip frame under the bbl, are 26 to 1. The rear sight assembly should also have 2-digit numbers in several places. We'd need to see all this sort of stuff, plus enough other close-ups for a cursory assessment of its finish.
Same with the holsters--inside, outside in most orientations, and close-ups of maker's marks, which can sometimes be faint.
The mag is incorrect for a WWI Artillery, but is collectible in its own right. So, you guessed it--pics!
The military holster on the left has some damage, but likely original (at this point). The commercial holster looks interesting, although wrinkly flap.
Pics are best taken outside in the shade or on a cloudy day. Make sure they're in focus, and if a tripod and self timer are used, no blurring from camera motion when taking the shots. Crp shots "in the camera" so you don't wind up with a lot of digital trimming later, which wastes resolution.
