Hi Richie,

Welcome to the forum. The pictures are needed in order to judge much about your Luger.

It's most likely made by DWM in Germany in 1918. The "1920" is a Wiemar Republic property mark (not a year) that was applied when the gun was re-worked after World War I - likely for police or army use.

Collectors like Lugers that are as close to original manufactured state as possible. Thus the value increases when they are complete, all matching, in original finish and "correct" in all ways. Pictures are needed in order to judge this.

If you are near a member, one of us would likely be happy to inspect it for you and share opinions about it and it's value.

Marc
