I can't make out the letters in your photos, but it could well be a "k" or a "b"... Do double check to see if it really is in .30 Luger caliber. Download our FAQ PDF document and check. Follow the FAQ link on every page. If it's a "b" suffix, it's not a Weimar era DWM Alphabet Commercial Luger. It's also numbered in the military numbering pattern, so it could well be an earlier pistol.
It rarely makes any financial sense to refinish or "restore" these. They don't have that much value. Perhaps $1200 to $1500 in this condition. Restored wouldn't increase it's value and would cost you $1000.
We do need better pictures showing details of the markings. Take them with a camera that can focus on detail, in natural light without flash.
