Hello:
As the previous posters have opined, it would appear from the photos that your pistol has been refinished. If the safety bar is blued, and it appears to be, then commetic work has been performed on this gun. IMHO, the color of the ejector does not look correct. It may be the photo. The small parts should have been blued on the 39s. While the ejector usually does not take on the same shade of blue as found on the other small parts due to the difference in hardness ( many times it appears to be a plum color) this piece gives me the impression that an attempt was made to straw it.
As has been stated the holster is constructed of pigskin and will command a price considerably higher than one in similiar condition constructed of cowhide. Yours looks to be in quite nice shape. I have not seen or heard of a P08 pigskin hardshell in any other color other than black, consequently, I suggest that it came from the manufacterer in that color. If it has been re-dyed this would detract from the value.
I would suggest that you break this "rig" up and sell it seperately if you wish to get the "max" out of it. Normally, I would not suggest such action, however, this is not a "rig", i.e., pistol, proper holster, & 2 matching mags. You have the components, however, neither of the mags match the gun and while the holster may have been issued with the gun, it could just as well have not. While a proper rig would command a premium this package will not. However, the holster and one of the mags are desireable items and will command higer prices based on their own right. Also, I would think that, by so doing, you would attract more buyers.
The Haenel Schmeisser is a police magazine and will bring more than the the other mag which is a common military magazine. The suffix stamp on the fxo mag, by the way, appears to me an "m".
As stated, the pigskin hardshells are not common are are greatly sought after by collector. I have seen such holsters in excellent condition sell on ebay for well in excess of $400.
Good Luck
