What can you tell me about my Luger?

New member here. I have a Luger my Dad left me. He had bought it sometime in the last 15 years.

It is marked DWM on the top toggle, 7.65mm, SN 4980 (same number on frame front, barrel, 80 on back of toggle) a crown/N on left side of frame and under barrel. Knurled knobs, checkered wood grips, wooden magazine end (no markings on the magazine) the word Germany on right side of frame. Under the barrel beneath the SN is a little lower-case 'i'(?) figure. (Looks a little like a fish hook.)

The finish is excellent with very little holster wear a couple of minor dings, very light rusting on the front strap, straw color on safety and takedown button is intact.

I would like to know what someone can tell me about the gun's history, manufacture and value? My Dad paid $900 for the gun originally. Is it worth now what he paid for it then?

Thanks in advance for anything you can tell me.
