1920 advise & info

Pretty tough to tell from the photo, but it looks like a police gun, with sear safety and police holster, but missing the side plate. Later magazine too. Given this info. I'd be scared to call it more than a shooter, with addl. salvage value of the holster. Personally I'd not spend more than $800 on it knowing that I'd have to force-match a sideplate ($100-$200) and probably still end up with a shooter.
Given the lack of info. and your being new to this game, there are probably safer venues to buy at. Like right here.
And be very cautions at the auction. Sometimes they charge a buyer's premium, sales tax, and a transfer fee. It adds up to a bad investment.
Hope I haven't rained on your parade.
