Default Re: I Agree on the 20 com.!!

I also agree that the 1920 commercial is a great variation and the price if good on them. Most were sold on the commercial market in the US, but many were sold on the German market. I have a 1920 commercial that is marked "made in germany", but was a vet bring back after the war. I have read somewhere that some of the US marked commercials were actually sold in German Sporting Goods stores to provide weapons for the German officers who were required to buy their own pistol. In the mid/late 1930s when the Political Leaders were required to buy their Walther PPKs, they were allowed to purchase them "on time" from the Sporting Goods Store. The wages during the 1930s was so bad that that was the only way the Political Leaders could afford to buy them. I feel that this may be the same case with officer purchase Lugers which were bought on the commercial market.
