I could be getting a 1920 marked with a 4'' barrel Red 9 next week. Are there any good books on them?

Great Thanks!
Yes, the sight removal/replacement (fixed) was part of the Police conversion process. Mine is 1920 stamped with two different Police unit markings. An older unit partially removed but still legible with an additional unit stamped nearby. Very interesting pistols in my opinion .....

I have not seen the pistol but I know it has the fixed sight. What say in 90% matching are these going for?

Very nice. Now you need a proper holster. The one on the right was used with full bbl length C96s employed by police in post WWI Hamburg. The one on the left was developed as a standardized holster for the modified C96 that I called the Larsen 1925 as examples are most often found with that maker and date.
