It is difficult to tell what the finish is like from the photo, but if it is all original with matching numbers and in good condition, you have really made an excellent purchase. The serial number places it in the last of the pre-WWI commercials. It is a 1914 commercial, which is a relatively difficult Luger to find. The Crown/N mark on the left side of the receiver should be horizontal, i.e. lying on its side. I see that the tools include a pin punch, which probably means that the holster is a commercial model as well, and also a very desirable item. Please post some additional clear, closeup pictures of the Luger and holster if you can so that we can see the markings and condition. You may have hit the jackpot with your very first Luger.
