Explain this 1920 over AE Stamp?

Ron W, Here's an alternative theory (or at least a good story) on how a 1906AE could end up in the German Military inventory after WW1: My German born Grandfather was a member of the American Bund and had purchased a M1906AE luger, that he took back to German in 1914 to volunteer for Army sercive as an officer during WW1. He was tragicly killed and the pistol ended up in the military inventory, to be stamped 1920 at the end of the war. TH PS: It was actually a grand mother who was a Bund member, but she didn't go back to Germany or own a luger, that I know of.
