Please provide input on this inherited Luger

Years back, my grandfather traded a Browning hunting rifle for a Luger and an Enfield No 2 MK I revolver. The Enfield is very nice, but I am not too sure what to make of this Luger.

I think I matched up the proof mark – an “N” with a crown atop of it, which according to your site tells me that it is a “German commercial proof. Found on some commercial Lugers of the 1906-1914 era. A few Lugers manufactured by Krieghoff have a similar, but small proof”

The manufacturers logo tells me that it is a DWM, but I do not see any other markings except the DWM symbol.

The letter suffix is a cursive lowercase “m”

Other markings that I can find is the number 27 on the trigger plate, on the locking bolt, and on the rear of the pistol (on the rear of the breachlock group I believe it is). The number 4427 is found on the bottom of the barrel and just below the barrel on the frame.

There are also some stamped numbers that can be found once the pistol is field stripped, which I can provide if it would be helpful.

You can tell that this pistol has been a carry weapon from the ware on the finish.

I would greatly appreciate any views on this pistol, as I am very curious about it. After looking over this site, I do believe that I have come to the right place.
