1908 Navy - need some advice

I have come by a 1908 DWM Navy Luger, s/n 3509b. I am going by Lugers At Random, pages 154 & 155. It has no date on the receiver, a "100" behind the DWM logo, and all the numbers including the grips and proofs are like those in the book. There's a unit marking of W.K. 10506 on the back strap, stock lug and regular safety. The straw is pretty much gone and the finish varies from almost gone to pretty decent with one area beside the side plate that almost has a blueish tint to it. Does anyone have any thoughts on what it could be worth if it's original with some possible blueing done on it? I told the owner I'd get back with him tomorrow morning with an answer.
