You need to check to see if it is a .30 Luger caliber pistol (rather than the larger 9mm Luger caliber).

If a No. 2 pencil just fits into the barrel, it's a .30 Luger caliber pistol.

If it fits real loose, it is likely a 9mm.

Your serial number is "9701O" which puts this DWM alphabet commercial manufacture date around 1924.
