Hi and welcome.
Many of us would consider a matching 1917 DWM with matching magazine too valuable to shoot- for if one breaks a numbered part, he would take a hit of about 1/3 the value of the piece.

The spare mag is made in Switzerland, and the base is dark plastic- The original matching magazine base is walnut, not ebony. The Swiss mags are excellent shooting magazines; the P on the back is the mfg.

I'd find another one to shoot! In the US your luger would go from $1500 to $2500 depending on where, when, and how sold. It is a keeper for sure.
