I have an Alphabet Commercial Luger (formerly called the 1920 Commercial Luger) which I really love to shoot. As stated above, and like yours, it uses 7.65 Parabellum (called "30 Luger" in the USA). Your serial number suggests that it was made between 1922 and 1925, though I have not been able to find any definitive serial number list that could pin it down to a specific year. I recommend you look at the Luger FAQs on this forum, and at the "sticky" posts by Dwight Gruber on commercial Lugers. If you want to reload, I suggest you look at the posts by "Sieger" on the reloading threads of this forum. Hope you enjoy your Luger!

There are a good number of members here on this forum that own and shoot alphabet Lugers. The 7.65P/30 Luger round is a fun round to shoot. Lugers like to to be clean and well lubed, and when all of the springs, mags, and ammo are correct, they can be very reliable, and scary accurate, even with a poor bore. I hope that your Luger will perform well for you, and that you enjoy it.
