Vern, the firing pin is a replacement. The number should match. That's not uncommon. the firing pins will crystalize,and break, if they are dry fired. So don't. As far as value, I paid $600.00 for my 1915 w/ E.German holster and WWI tool. I got a very good deal. They average $700.00 to $800.00 in my part of the country. I had a 1918 a couple of years ago. Very similar to yours. I paid $700.00 for it. I got $750.00 for it in trade. Wish I'd have kept it. Minor wear, to me, adds character.
