Question 1917 DWM Artilery

I bought my first Artilary last weekend. It's a 1917 DWM, with fine tune front and rear sights. Compared to my standard Lugers with 4 inch barels it seems like a monster rifle. It came with three functioning mags. One wood bottomed, and two alluminium. It also came with an original Imperial tool and rod. The rig, (holster, 2 mag pouch, board stock, straps are reproductions albiet VERY NICE, and aged to match the gun. Brown) Oh I forgot to mention the snail drum magazine(2nd. variation), with a repro drum leather case. Since I am totally lost when it comes to these I ask what may appear to be rudementary questions.

1) What would you guys estimate the value of the rig, repro items and all? Just ballpark. The gun and snail drum are in very good condition 85-90%, with some surface rust and minor pitting at the muzzel(I know to be expected)
2) Have you ever noticed the bluing looking kind of stained in spots, where there is moderate rust. As I said the muzzel is pitted a little and that is where the "splotch" is. It doesn't appear to be a touch up, but it could be, given that it seems a touch darker or stained.
3) Do they have a hold open? Mine doesn't seem to?

See I told you I was kind of dumb in this area. Don't worry guys, I traded some VERY nice things out of my collection for it! Any help as usual would be greatly appreciated! My personal e-mail is tcanney@abbe.org.

Thanks in advance for sharing your knowlege!
