The 1920 looks too clean and uniform to be a property stamp. I see no reason why this could not be a 1920 dated DWM that was produced prior to DWM being forbidden in 1921 to manufacture military Lugers. It does not appear to have been for the police and was probably for the Reichswehr. See Still's Weimar Lugers pp. 18-20.
