Welcome. You have a P 08 made in Oberndorf Germany by Mauser for the German Army. The 'byf' lettering on the toggle is a code designating Mauser. The pitting is significant on the one side; most holster experts advise do not store the pistol in the holster to prevent oxidation. I can't tell if the finish is original or not from the photos (original is better from a value standpoint). Photos of the magazine and its base would be helpful to establish type and originality.

Holster looks original and appropriate for the pistol, but I'm not a holster collector so hopefully someone will be by to confirm/comment on it.

Be sure to check the FAQ, lots of good information there.
