New to Lugers

Look in the Tech Info section to the left and check 'proof marks'. You'll see that your proofs are #31, for Weimar military and police reworks. This also applies to new pistols made in that era. The '1920' most likely is a government property mark. Your pistol is probably an undated 1920. If it has sear and magazine safeties it was for the police. Without the extra safeties, it would be military. I found all this out while researching mine, which is similar. These pistols are not the most desirable of the Lugers from a collecting standpoint, although most of them were used in WWII. Check the Military Luger category for '1920 DWM' to see the thread I hijacked to discuss mine. **Edited** Sorry, that thread is called 'Significance Of 1920'. Got my forums mixed up.
