What Makes This One "Rare"...?

Does anyone else see blue over pitting on the RH frame ear?
Doubs; You really helped me with identifying my 'Weimar' on the 'New Acquisition' thread that I sort of hijacked. So, 'Weimar' can mean Imperial pistols proofed for Weimar use as well as newly made guns? If this one were used by the Weimar government, would it not have the serial number on the left side of the frame as well as other proof marks?
Also, I wonder what the suffix is on the serial number. Wouldn't the serial number be 5-digit if it was made post-WWI as a commercial?
