1918 DWM with 2 matching mags- what do you think?

It appears that the gun has been modified for both the sear and magazine safety, but both are now gone.
Yes, police reworks used the gun's orig. serial number stamped on a later type magazine.
Hard to talk money when we don't understand the European market, sorry.
But as far as it being worth slightly less as a police re-work, while I tend to agree, many others here will vehemently disagree and point out the police Lugers are a collector's category all of their own.
If you get more photos please do close-ups of the left side above the mag. button and also the top. And watch for unit markings on the grip straps.
