Hi,
As mentioned it is a DWM Alphabet Commercial made in the 1922-1923 timeframe (5194l in the middle of the "l" block from what I can see). These were exported from Germany and imported into the USA in fairly large numbers. They are rust blued, and well made. My first Luger was one of these in the "m" block. As mentioned, G.T. can restore the base of the magazine. I would probably not shoot it using a wood bottom magazine, but rather find a newer Mecgar. Looks like you have the correct ammo. .30 Luger. I personally don't shoot collectible firearms, but less exposure to value loss breaking an unnumbered part on one of these... If you shoot it, consider replacing the springs. Make sure you get the right recoil spring for a .30 Luger. They are different than the ones used in the 9mm Lugers... Marc
