Welcome to the Lugerforum. You will need to post a lot more photos to determine exactly what you have... So far, a DWM manufactured in 1920.

Welcome to the forum. You appear to have a military (army) 9mm luger made by DWM in 1920; it also appears to have been reblued at one time (not arsenal reblued, but much later).

What do you mean by "Bigerations" ?

In you opinion is it a shooter/collector grade?
Any idea of Approx value?

Thanks & regards!

hello to everybody, here my first post, thanks to all for the better luger site I have seen, I have learn a lot of thing. About the DWM: the 1 on the chamber seem bigger and not aligned, why?

mllo09,

Good eye! I don't think this is a 1920 chamber date. It is more likely a 1920 property stamp. I also think the acceptances on the right side of the receiver are odd but I am not an expert in these.
