1917 Artillery help?

Hi, I'm new to the Luger world. But last week I was thrust into the world of the Luger. I knew they were out there, seen them in pictures, movies, and behind glass. But I never thought I would have one in my presence. EVER!!

I was given some firearms by my step dad, and he thought the Luger was worth a couple hundred dollars. He didn't do his research.

So, I'm researching on what I have.

It's a 1917 stamped Luger with the DWM stamping, in really good condition. But the numbers don't match. I've been trying to get it valued, but all the magazines, Blue Books, and such, give it a high value, but!! How much does it knock down in value vs. a all matching numbered firearm in similar condition?

Thank you for your help.
