Your Luger's serial number is 1490 "o" and it appears to be all matching from what I can see. You should check the firing pin to see if it has the number 90 stamped on it.
In answer to your questions about the marks stamped on the magazine:
2445 "v" is the serial number of the pistol that this magazine was issued with.
The "+" sign indicates that it is the second or spare magazine from that pistol.
The Eagle/63 is the acceptance stamp from the government for the magazine.
Your finish does "look" original in the photos, but it is hard to tell for sure in a photo. But I will give your Luger the benefit of the doubt.
Now that I have seen it, I would say $700 is an acceptable value for your gun... and it might be worth a hundred or two more to someone who really wanted to buy it. I have seen lesser pistols sell for as much as $1200.
Congrats on a fine Luger.
