Pits, The brown grips are WW2 KH replacements (have even seen these used as replacements on some WW1 lugers) and are worth upwards of $250 separately. Unfortunately, they are not the matching wood grips that originally came with this pistol, so detract about the same amount from the value of the pistol, had it had it's original grips. Judging from the die size of the serial on the E/63 mag, I would guess that it has been renumbered during it's service. The code 122 mag is period correct for this 1940/42. So the pistol @$1000+ (if matching other than the mag & grips), with unrelated good holster & spare mag @$250+, would incidate to me about a minimum value of around $1,250. TH
