Ed, the basic information is correct, except the Waffenamt Marks would be either E/655 or E/135. Of course, the Black Bakelite Grips are not numbered.
Capt. Emo, since you say the magazine matches the pistol, I'm guessing the grips are wooden. That being the case, they should have the last two digits of the serial number stamped on the inside surface. If they are armourer replacements they should have E/655 or E/135 stamped on the inside surface.
If the wooden grips are not numbered or Waffenamt Marked, they are most likely post war replacements.
You must decide the value of the pistol. If the grips are "new" looking, they don't belong with an 85% pistol. If they appear to have the same wear as the pistol, then the lack of the grip number will be somewhat compensated by the fact the magazine is matching. The value is certainly greater than a "shooter", but less than a "collector".
Good Luck!!
