Need help with pricing a Luger

A guy I know has a Luger that I may want to trade into. It is a DWM military gun that has a 30 Luger commercial barrel installed. The barrel is completely unmarked but looks like it was rust blued. The chamber date has been scrubbed and the right side of the frame is stamped Germany. The magazine is a numbered wood bottom but not numbered to the gun. The grips do not match each other and are not numbered to the gun. My guess is this is a military gun that was rebarreled and sold on the commercial market in the early twenties. His asking price is $1,200 but my guess is the gun is worth more in the $900-1000 range. I couldn't get pictures but the finish looks about 70% on the blue and about forty or fifty percent on the straw. Other than the barrel, the grips and the magazine the gun is all matching.

Any thoughts?
