1920 .30 cal DWM Luger?

Yes (given that it's sometimes difficult to determine this in pictures), your Luger looks like it may be refinished to me. "k" block should be in 1922 or 1923.

Take pictures again without using flash, but instead using shaded natural sunlight. The finish appearance may change.

The edges do look sharp in most places, but appear rounded in others in the photos.

Genuine halos on the barrel serial number digits would indicate original finish in that area. Closeup properly exposed sharp pictures would help verify.

Areas like the frame rails should be in the white. Take a look inside. Also the recoil spring link and the lock pin on the toggle main axle.
