Is this a good deal?

Gino,

In late 1919 - early1920, DWM resumed production of dated, military-accepted Lugers for the Reichswehr and the police. In 1921, the Allies shut down their military production, leaving their "commercial" line alone. Probably, about 70,000 pistols were manufactured with 1920 or 1921 chamber dates, military acceptance stamps and exposed small parts numbers. These went to the Army and the police.

The 1920-dated pistols had serial numbers ranging from 1 to 9999 with no suffix, "a", "b" and "n" suffixes. The 1921-dated pistols had no suffix, "a" and "b."

Quite a few of these also received the 1920 property stamp identifying them as government property. This is the source of 1920/1920 and 1920/1921 "double-dated" Lugers.
