Please double check your Luger to ensure it really is in 9mm Caliber. The vast majority of these commercial pistols were made in .30 Luger.

Use a #2 pencil. If it doesn't fit or fits tightly down the muzzle it's a .30 Luger pistol.

If it fits loosely into the muzzle it's 9mm.

This is most likely a .30 Luger Alphabet Commercial Luger from 1924.

If so, it would be worth about $700 if all matching and in original finish.
