Oh well, points are easy come, easy go. But I did see the C/N proof on the barrel. Just didn't mention it. I also saw the military proof stamp on the left side of the barrel.

I still think this gun is a 1920 Navy Commercial.

I'll be the first to say that when the British de-commissioned their military handguns they sent them to the civilian proof house for commercial proof. I haven't seen that practice on de-commissioned German pistols. There are millions of German military Lugers here in the U.S., and I don't recall seeing one with civilian proofs and "Germany" stamped on the frame.

But again, I don't claim any expertise on these. I know just enough to get myself in trouble.
