Snafu63092,
Welcome to the forum

Based on you description and the photos provided it appears that your friend has a 1911 WWI, DWM military issue P08.

The gun also was reissued to a Police unit post war as evidenced by the Police holster and sear safety.

Most likely the gun is 9mm.

There are some other questions I have

(1) Are there any marking on the front grip strap of the gun ?

(2) Are there any markings on the front of the frame and under the barrel ?

(3) What are the markings on the bottom of both mags ?

(4) Are there any markings on the tool ?

If the set is a matching police combo, it would be worth more than just an accumulation of mis-matched pieces, but the gun looks to be in rough shape which would greatly reduce the value.

Perhaps someone who collects Police lugers cares to speculate as to the value in its current state.

Jim
