That's one way. You can also look at the serial number and other characteristics of the gun to determine when it was manufactured. For example, true 1920-dated DWMs will have E/ArA4 or E/WaA4 acceptances.
Note that there are some police Lugers that were manufactured as late as 1924 that have a 1920 property stamp.
