Luger-ly Challenged....need an approximate value

Eric, appears to be a very nice 1918 DWM; if all original (interior parts should match also, to include firing pin and grips), value, retail wise would be around $1300-$1400. Holster looks very nice, but can't see if rear has been messed with, value $125-$350, tool another $40-$85 (depending on if marked or not), while an exatra magazine like this is worth $50-$90

Everything depends on originality, it appears okay, but lets talk if reblued or mismatched parts; then it is worth about $800 for all; if all original and in correct shape, probably $1500. If you brought it to a show I was set up at, I'd probably offer about $800 cash, maybe $900. A gun shop would likely offer half that.
