I recently inherited a 7.65 luger from my wife's side of the family. It was her great great grandfathers. I know absolutely nothing about guns, but would like any help anyone could give me in identifying it. I think it is a commercial model. The serail number is 8699 , looks like all the small parts have 99 stamped on them as well. On the bottom of the barrel is a capital N with a crown over it. Thesame symbol is on the left side of the receiver? Also under the serial number looks like a cursive o. Ithas GERMANY stamped on the front of the receiver and GESICHERT under the safety. On the top is a cursive DWM but no year marking. It has a magazine with a wooden bottom, with GERMANY stamped on that but no serial number on the magazine.

Trying to figure out what I have. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Kent
