Significance of 1920

It looks like I have an undated 1920. I believe it was assembled from parts by DWM, or a 'rework' if you will. The 'upper' is 4084l (marked on barrel; 4084 on left side of slide), but the frame is 4084h. The type face of the frame stamp is a little different than on the barrel and slide, but the finish is an old rust blue that matches on all parts. The barrel also has the same proof as the right side of the slide. The toggle train has 84 on its parts, but the 4 is stamped over a 3. Except for the old, matching rust-blue finish, I'd say anybody could have put it together, but I think its a factory job.
