George,
The Fraktur characters avalible in modern true type fonts for computers are simplifications of the original characters on Luger acceptance stamps. So, although you are correct, there isn't a Fraktur font equivalent to the Luger markings available (at least as far as I have been able to find). In the case of serial number suffixes, Sutterlin is not even close. For example, a Sutterlin "e" looks like "n".
