P-08 Artillery

First post here. You guys have a great website. I have a 1917 Luger artillery in very nice condition, all numbers matching and original wooden grips. Only downsides are number non matching magazine and wooden stock. Unfortunately the holster does not have any tools. Wondering how much these issues affect the overall value? I'll post pics if that would be helpful. Thanks.

Those downsides certainly do effect the value, but there is a seat for every saddle and what you have sounds very nice. We all wish we had the ultimate matching stuff in 99% shape, but very few of us do. And we are a large enough buying group that your matching Artillery will always find a home.
Pictures are important before I go further out on this limb. Post them in the LP-08 section and you'll get some good expert opinions.
