Trying to find info on new luger purchase

I'm hoping to have it by next week and I will post some pictures of it. When I inspected it, it had the DWM on the top of the frame and all of the serial numbers that I could see appeared to match. Knowing very little about Lugers, other than I wanted one, I asked the seller when it was made. He repyed 1940 through 1942, however, I never asked him how he came up with that date range. It didn't look bad and I was really just looking for a shooter, but I figured if I found a nice collectable specimen that would be great.

Well I finally got the Luger. Here are some pictures. The local gun store seems to think it is a "1920s commercial gun." I'm sure its not a very valuble specimen, but all I was really looking for is a shooter. I would just like to know some more about it. The caliber is 9mm. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
