Valuation DWM Luger

The frame suffix appears to be u (thus made in 1929) partially overstamped by a crown. Crown overstamping of the letter suffix is not common, there are several examples reported. the reason is unknown. It is not likely to be part of the Rif contract; it is suspected that the Rif guns are the s, t, and u suffix commercial police pistols without the DWM hallmark.

The grips on your pistol are not original.

For the pistol with the complete set of case and accessories, your cost was reasonable.
