You have a DWM "Alphabet" commercial pistol with a mismatched military magazine that is close in serial number, (but with no suffix). The finish appears to be original althoyugh a closer look at the grips would be in order, (they look recheckered or are replacements).

Your mag. is for a Krieghoff and quite valuable. Bill

The correct mag for this commerical DWM would be one with a tin plated tube and an unmarked wood bottom. TH

Hi Randy, Welcome to the forum! As Bill has noted, the magazine is a Krieghoff, it's probably worth as much as the gun.
Regards, Norm

Thanks for the help. Any estimation on the value of this luger and the mag?

Also would any of you happen to know what year it was manufactured?

Hi Randy, The gun is a Commercial produced for export by DWM in the 1920's. Someone who collects these (I don't) could help you out with the exact year. It's value is as a "shooter" and we would need to know the condition of the bore and the caliber, 9mm or .30. If a common lead pencil slips easily down the bore, then it's 9mm.
The Kreighoff magazine was made in 1937 and is highly sought after. It's value too, would depend on condition, and we would need to see more photos.
The value, very roughly, is $450.00 to $750.00 each. I hope this helps.
Regards, Norm
