What Luger do I have and is this even a P-08?

Hi Antony,
Your Luger #81423 is more recently and correctly classified as a 20 DWM commercial. It was formerly called a 1923 commercial. It was made in 1920 for commercial sales and is most likely a 30 Luger or 7.65mm. There were far fewer made and are harder to find than the much more common Alphabet DWM commercials (formerly 1920 commercial) which were made starting in 1921. Personally I would raise the insurance estimate above to $1100 - $1200.
