Value and where to sell? 1917 DWM MILITARY ARTILLERY

Welcome to the Luger Forum !
That's is a very handsome grouping.

It looks like you have a nice 1917 LP.08 with a matching stock!

You will want to post more closeup photos of everything.
The holster and cleaning rod, in particular.
It looks like you have a correct wood bottom magazine, with a different number (1575 a ?)

You clearly have the serial numbers nicely displayed.

BBGV is a good starting point, but their classifications are based on finish condition, which is not as important
with lugers. Original finish is prized, instead and rifling isn't that critical, either.

But, without seeing better photos (better lighting and close-ups of the acceptance marks), I would say
your kit is probably worth around $8-10k. That matching shoulder stock is quite impressive, if it's authentic.

P.S. You may want to remove your personal phone number and just share in messages.
