1900 German Luger American Eagle DWM value?

That looks to be a fairly decent example if the finish is original. It is relatively early but the serial number is too high to be a US Test piece. It should have GERMANY stamped on the front of the frame under the serial number…if it does not then that indicates it was removed (possibly to make it appear to be a test piece?) and that may be why the serial number on the frame is weak. The plastic pull on the magazine is an aftermarket item, probably installed because the original wood base was damaged. Without having gun in hand value estimation is difficult but if the GERMANY is present, all serial numbers match and the finish is original you are looking at a ballpark price of around $2500 plus or minus.
