You are very lucky in that you own a rare, all-matching, original finish, nice condition pistol and two correct, matching magazine combination. The pistol is WW1, not WW2.

The only odd thing is the World War Two holster the magazines and pistol came in, (is there a tool in the holster flap)?

It would be a simple matter to obtain a correct, World War One holster and correct tool for the holster flap and have a correct, complete World War One "Rig". Collector's would be very interested in this.

I value it, with a correct holster and tool at over $2,500.

There are different definitions of "correct." I consider this holster to be correct since you have provenance that it was paired with the pistol in service. It is part of the rig's history. Replacing it with a WWI holster would amount to throwing away part of its history as well as your family's history.
