You most likely have a DWM Alphabet Commercial Luger, made in 1923 or 1924. Looks to be in good original condition. The magazines that came with these Lugers were wood bottom, and normally not numbered.
It should be in 7.56 (.30 caliber) Luger. A no. 2 pencil should either not fit down the barrel, or just barely make it in.
If numbered, your magazine is likely from an earlier period.
Looks like someone cleaned it rather aggressively, removing the paint normally found in the safety marking on the frame ear.
The crown/N proof marks are commercial marks.
It may have a "Made in Germany" or "GERMANY" marking, applied when it was imported.
