1939 P08 with Nazi and Imperial markings

Thank you all for the information. It's been very enlightening.
Today I took down my Luger for the first time and learned a couple things but of course it brought more questions.
I found that everything but the hold open and possibly the grips match.

On the grips I found that the right scale is only marked with a Z and the left is marked only with an L.

My hope is they aren't reproductions, they seem aged appropriately as best I can tell but does not having a number mean they are in fact repro grips?

The last question for now is, how much does having a non-matching hold open and grips affect the overall value of the gun?

While I have no desire to part with my most recent acquisition I do like to track pros and cons to the value.
