Hi Johnny,

Alas, I'm afraid you are mistaken :-(

While many (and quite possibly most) 1920 Commercials had all the military markings removed, a number did not. It's not unusual to find 1920 Commercials with both C/N and Imperial Army acceptance and proof, or only Imperial Army acceptance and proof. Also, while there was usually some effort to remove chamber dates these efforts were not always entirely successful.

OTOH, you are right on target concerning the distinction between the 1920 Commercial variation and those pistols stamped with the Reichswehr 1920 property mark

Regards,

Kyrie
