Significance of 1920

My DWM has 1920 over the chamber and the three AYA4 Eagles on the receiver (#31 in the proof marks section). These proofs are said to indicate a 1920 police or military rework. These proofs are rather deeply stamped, and the steel was apparently not ground down to remove previous proofs. This would indicate the proofs are original. Can anyone say when these proofs began to be used? It's a 4084h, numbered in the military style.
