That may be but I do not think so because the 1920 stamp was published only in the "Heeres- Verordnungsblatt" and not in the "Ministerial- Blatt für die Preußische innere Verwaltung".
We can read there only about weapons of the Reichswehr (Army and not the Police).
I do not know why Police Lugers should have had a 1920 stamp at that time- they should/ may have had unit/ Police stamps.
There are many more historical reasons that Police Lugers in 1920 do not got the 1920 stamp- allone my poor English does not allow to discuss them.
