1937 mismatch question.

Been away from the lugers for awhile, but came across a mis matched 1937 pistol. The upper and lower match but the toggle train is a dmw and the side plate doesnt match.
What got me curious is the serial number is just the 4 digits and no letter underneath. The barrel matches the upper and lower, however there isnt the bore diameter stamped on it. Is this correct?
Its not a collectable, im looking at it as a shooter. The aftermarket mag doesnt hold open the toggle. It does have import stamp on the frame. Probably been reblued at one time. I can get it for $800. Does that sound reasonable? No warranty of course. I just dont see too many lugers available locally and thinking of adding this one to the collection. Thank you. Jim
