Explain this 1920 over AE Stamp?

Note that the serial number has been stamped on the left side of the receiver, further evidence that this gun ended up as property of the Reichswehr (probably). It makes sense that the extractor could have been replaced during its service life.

How about an American working and living in Germany in the early 1900's.

He wanted to buy a Luger in Germany but with some attachment to his homeland, the USA. So he special-ordered it from a local sporting good store in Germany.

Gun stayed in Germany with several Owners and was eventually inventoried/stamped 1920 after WWI.
