Matching numbers

Not necessarily true. The second "date" (the Weimar era 1920) is not a date at all, but a Weimar goverment property mark.
If a pistol was received by them with a matching mag, there is no reason to supposed it would not have left with that matching mag after the property mark was added.

For informative purposes,
I may have known this answer at one time. I do know it dose not represent a year. But how is this not a date and only a property mark? What year was the 1920 mark applied and why this number not a date?

Just seems a little confusing to many of our new members.
