Your .30 Luger caliber DWM Alphabet Luger is from about 1924. These are not valued as highly as military Lugers, and there were quite a large number imported into the USA in the mid to late 1920s.

I bought one in similar condition, all matching, with an original magazine three years ago for $675. I imagine values are up some now, but your after market magazine knocks the price down about $100.

There should be clear "halos" around the serial number digits stamped into the barrel.

It looks to be in pretty good original finish condition. If all the numbered parts match on yours ("67" or "1467") you should be able to realize $750 or more in a direct sale.
