Jim, you have a typical DWM Commercial Luger as indicated by the five digit (no suffix letter) serial number. The C/N proof marks you describe are also typical of a Commercial pistol. Further, the last two digits of the serial number should appear on the underside of the take-down lever and the side plate. It's possibly pre-war (WW1) but I'm not at home and the serial number would place it close one way or the other. The Commercial pieces are extremely well made and it should be a fine shooter. If it has 90% or better original finish remaining, it's worth a fair penny as well.
