What can you tell me about my Luger?

I inherited a DWM P08 Luger, Serial Number 4275. It doesn't have any Imperial, Weimar or Nazi proof marks on it. It has "GERMANY" stamped on the left side of the receiver and "N" with a crown on it stamped on it. I understand that may denote pre-1940 manufacture and proof fired with smokeless powder, "N" standing for Nitro. Also it has a lower case script "i" stamped on it. Any ideas on the origins of this pistol? Export model, perhaps?
