Need Help (Identity & Value) WWII Luger - with Pictures (Thanks)

Hello Fyve,
Very nice and enviable rig!!! The name "black widow" was made up by a US dealer to enhance sales of the all black Lugers, with black bakelite grips and mag bottoms. Most would not consider yours as a "black widow" with the aluminum bottom mags. Not to worry though... yours with two matched aluminum bottom mags, is worth more than a "bw" rig, which is easy to assemble with unnumbered black bottom mags.
