Help with date of DWM

On the left side of the slide or upper receiver (not sure of the correct name)behind the serial there is a crown with a B and a crown with a U turned horizontal. It appears that they were there first and the serial was stamped over them. There are no markings on the right side of the slide. On the front of the receiver beneath the barrel is the whole serial again with no other markings. On the bottom of the barrel it has a crown with an N. Those are all of the markings that I can see. There is no grip safety and the grips are a black/brown plastic which are most likely getting replaced soon. All numbers match including the magazine, except for the safety piece that pops up when in gesichert. From the crown markings it looks to be between 1900 and 1908 from the tech section. Is it possible to get closer on the date? Also approximately how much should I have paid? The blueing is about 90% with a little wear from a holster.It has very little pitting on the sides and none on or in the barrel.
