I have seen other guns marked this way, but yes, not common.
Remember, the 1920 is not a date, although it was implemented in 1920 (thus you'll see 1920 over 1920). The 1920 was a gov't stamping (see FAQ and download it

) - as they were trying to get weapons off the streets (Allied commission) and thus weapons were given a bounty and they felt that if marked, they'd be less likely to be stolen and returned.

The eagle L is nazi era police.
