The grips are East German VoPo; not Russian capture. VoPo means "Volks Poleizi" or People's Police. The grips are commonly called "bulls eye" grips and were made post-war by the East Germans.
The matching magazine is likely post-war East German manufacture. Typically Police magazines were numbered 1 & 2. Check the markings on the mag body.
While the import markings will lower collector value somewhat, the East German VoPo Lugers have increased in value in recent years and if the pistol is all matching - no forced matched parts - then it will be worth more than just shooter value.
