Rick.
American Eagle Luger production starts at serial number 2002 and runs to about 24000 (mixed in with non-AE commercials), so yours is fairly early. The parts you listed are not numbered so your gun is correct. Also, all American Eagles are marked GERMANY except for the US Test Trial pieces, so that is also correct. A proper magazine would be one with a plain unmarked wooden base. An all matching 1900 falls in the collector category but the value largely depends on condition. A gun in poor condition, e.g. rust pitting, heavily worn or no finish, etc., begins to become more like a shooter rather than collectible.
