Welcome to the Forum.
These are usually called "Alphabet Lugers", which were produced after WW-1 (1919-1931).
Pull down a copy of the FAQs (top menu).
You will notice that these lugers have "strawed" small parts (trigger, takedown lever, safety lever, etc.)
It's a unique feature I really like to see.
When 5 digit commercial serial numbers got too high, DWM switched to the 4-digit serial numbers with a suffix around 1921. This one was probably delivered in 1922.
It would have come with a wrapped metal magazine with an unmarked wood bottom.
