Hi Patrick,
Welcome to the madness.
Your Luger is classified as an Alphabet DWM commercial (formerly 1920 commercial). It was made by DWM for export to the US in the latter part of 1925. The full serial# is 2822o. The 'o' is part of the S#. The 'GERMANY' stamps on the front of the frame and on the magazine are export stamps. The 30 Luger round is very fast and has a flat trajectory. You'll be addicted quickly. In our new economy, it is worth around $900-$1000. Two years ago, one as nice as yours could get $1400-$1500.
