Commercial serial number range are in the i, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r serial range
DWM Alphabet Commercial production continued on through the s, t, u, and early v suffixes. Collectors sometimes find it useful to categorize the s, t, and u suffixes separately.

Primarily undated receivers
Some in the i suffix range are dated 1921
The receiver tops are characteristically not dated. A very few with i suffixes are found dated 1921.

A few with 9mm pistols with 4" barrels were intended for military or police
Many pistols were rebarrelled with 4-inch, 9mm barrels for use by the German police. These may include their own unique characteristics including: army proofs instead of or in addition to the c/N proofs; police-specific auxiliary safeties; additional police-specific markings; absence of a DWM stamping on the center toggle.

Alphabet commercial pistols are sometimes found with Swiss-market characteristics, including a Swiss cross-in-sunburst chamber mark, grip safety, long frame, and absence of the c/N proof.

Please correct me if I have posted erroneous information.
