Bluing is hard to tell without the gun in hand, so don't concern yourself too much with my comments.
Finding the actual original magazine is tough, but put a note in the Want to Buy section below and who knows? And you can find a correct but mis-numbered magazine easily enough. Let's see a couple of photos of your magazine so we can determine better what you already have.
As far as tracing the gun's history, without specific "unit markings", that is doubtful. About all we know for sure is that it was made in 1914 and went to the German army.
