The "1920" marking was applied to guns owned by the police and the small army authorized for the Weimar republic after WWI. It really is not a date applicable to the gun, only a reference to the 1920 law that regulated arms for government. I can't find "R.z.W." in my references, but it may be a reference to the law or a property mark for some governmental organization.
