Are all of the parts on it matching numbers?
What markings are on the top of the Toggle?
DWM?
Erfurt?
byf?
Mauser?
S/42 or 42?
Krieghoff SUHL?
Is the safety lever marked "Gesichert"? Does it have a grip safety?
More information is needed to really tell if that Luger is undervalued or not.
If it's a gun made from mismatched parts and is in good mechanical shape, it's a piece of history that may be a good shooter. There are so many variations of Lugers and many that have been "tinkered" on by shade-tree gunsmiths that it is impossible to determine a gun's true value without a good hands-on inspection (IMHO - ymmv).
Please note that the .30 Luger is a 7.65x21mm round; the .30 Mauser is a 7.63x25mm round; the Tokarev is a 7.62x25mm round (and loaded much hotter than the previous rounds!).

Thank you for all that information.
If I decide to do this (and I probably will get my head out of my butt and not do it), I can see that I've got my research cut out for me.
Thanks again for all the info. I had no idea there were so many variations and pieces-parts. Looks like I'm not going to be picking it up anytime soon!

Since it's a .30, we know it's not a P08. Probably, it's a 1920 Commercial, which could be in just about any Luger configuration you can name. Mine is a 4", that looks outwardly like a P08, but there are any number of different barrel lengths and variations within 1920 model production.
