Don,

It would most probably have been a military contract pistol. Difficult to say if the proofs would tell the story. The serial number placement is the most telling. And the fact that it has an obliterated unit mark. The proofs could give an indication if it is a reworked Imperial with a scrubbed date. Or new manufacture.


The problem with 1920 dated Lugers is that it's hard to tell if it is the year of manufacture or a Reich's property stamp.

As Mr Wood says, more good clear photos of the markings are required.
