By the way, my Arty's sn is 330g. Did numbers get reused on different lines like Artillery, Navy, Army, Commercial, etc?

The answer to your question is yes, and no. For military Lugers the answer is yes as the numbers would repeat at the beginning of each production year and for DWM the range extended to â??gâ? for:
1915 P.08
1916 P.08
1917 P.08
1917 LP.08
1918 P.08
So you could find #330g in each of those year/model guns. Navy suffix letters did not go that high.
On the â??noâ? side, Commercial Lugers did not have a letter suffix to the serial number until the 1920 Commercials, and they will be found with suffix letters primarily from â??iâ? through â??uâ?.
