Help to figure this Luger out??

Thanks Ed, I Understand the property 1920/21 property marks. What is funny is that the finish looks so nice with very little wear and it looks as if there were never any military proofs, only nitro. One point reflecting on the proofs are, the 1918 was there, but does not show nearly as well as the 1920 does. Could all of the military proofs, along with the depth of the '1918' have been buffed/removed, then nitro proofed, refinished, when the sear safety was added? I will give the gun shop a call to see if the nitro proof on the left of the reciever is vertical or horizontal should be some help. Vertical would be post 1920, correct?
Tks,Bill
