The pistol you have may be the Dreyse 1907 .32 ACP. It was manufactured from 1907-1919, and was a fairly common sidearm of German officers in WW2. The Dreyse company was founded by Nikolaus von Dreyse in the early 1800s.

Your description sounds like a pistol my Dad brought back. Just looked at pictures on 2 sites, One was selling for $395.00. They both looked like what he had. His had the firing pins removed prior to boarding ship coming back. If yours has one it might make it a bit more valuable.
