Need some help with first Luger

Ok, uploaded, sorry. I'm not sure what that is on the front strap. Waiting on an email from him on that. From the picture it's looks like the original bluing on the barrel and frame but understand that it needs to be checked in person. I know how to tell a reblue on an old S&W revolver, so hopefully it's pretty much the same.
The takedown tool is in the picture with holster and mags.

I agree. The picture of the barrel serials show "halos" around the numbers, which are a slight dulling of the finish right next to the stamped figures. Collectors assess halos as evidence that the finish is original, as the halos tend to disappear if the piece is re-blued. Looks like a nice military DWM in original finish.
