Oh, I misunderstood you. I though you were saying that this one was made in the '20s. I knew the Nitro stamp put it post 1920. I've always assumed it was a later model based on my grandfather's stories. It was taken from a dead officer, my Grandfather had the whole uniform but didn't make it back to the States with it, someone swiped it. He still has some insignias somewhere and the only other thing besides notes from Nazi occupied France, Holland and Belgium that know about is the overcoat belt-buckle. Which I also have. Aluminum, "Gott Mit Uns, and the leather tab with a 1939 stamp in it. Photos are in transit.
