Ckiff, I would venture to say that your artillery is a 1917 military issue that was Weimar property stamped with the addition of slash and the digits "20". First it's just a gut feeling given the crude way in which "/20" was added. The 1917/18 guns that are known display a factory quality in the manner in which the /18 is added. Further evidence can be found in the serial number.
Although you don't give the number up, one of the above attached threads seems to show a serial number in the "c" block. If this is the case then the pistol was made early in 1917 and as such is quite unlikely to be a late year unfinished gun
