This is what I know about it. No seer safty like a police model...only thing I learned here so far

A DWM on the top
Is stamped on the left side Germany and above is a N with a crown over it.

Has an 82 stamped below the rear sight

Sad when such a fine piece must go.....I hope someone good gets it.

Hello Shayne,

Welcome to the forum. From the information you provided I am guessing that it might be a 1920 commercial DWM import. The Crown/N implies commercial, and the "Germany" means that it was exported from Germany.

Unfortunately, no one can estimate the value without much more information and pictures. If I am correct and it is a 1920 it is probably a 7.65mm.

Please provide as much information as you can including all markings and their locations and the caliber. Good, detailed, close-up pictures would be a great help.

Best of luck.

Luke

Shayne, welcome to the forum!

As Luke stated, lots of pictures and complete description, caliber, length of barrel, is it all matching, etc., are the only ways to judge a wild guess on a value...

A "shooter" luger sells for $350-$550, all depending on many factors. If this one is 7.65mm (30 luger), then the value is not as high as a 9mm one, and even in nice shape usually sell for around $500-$600 or less.
