Want to dermine value

I think I messed up posting these pics. All new to me. Sorry!
Anyway, I inherited a Luger which was brought back from Germany after WWII and would appreciate anyone helping me with determining an approximate value to ask should I try to sell it.
The toggle inscription is DWM and has no chamber inscription. The toggle knob is round and knurled.
There is no grip safety and it does have a stock lug.
It is 7.65 mm with checkered walnut grips.
The thumb safety is "safe in rear" with "Geisichert".
Markings are as follows:
DWM on top of toggle
proof mark #28 (crown over N) located on barrel and receiver
serial # 8539 with n suffix on barrel and frame
Barrel length is 3-3/4"
Markings on left edge of extractor are proof mark #28 (crown over N)
Front milled sight and rear fixed
Magazine bottom plug material is wood, stamped "Germany" no serial #.
% remaining bluing is approx. 90% (best guess)
% remaining straw is approx. 95% (diddo)
Bore condition is excellent and grip condition is very good
Serial numbers all match except side plate
No accessories except a holster that I doubt is period or authentic.
I believe it to be a commercial model from the 1920's but again, not sure.
