The script letter, although often hard to read, is part of the serial number. It is often overlooked by people noting a luger serial number but is usually the most important part of the serial number as it indicates early versus late production and the customer. Letter blocks such as v were sometimes reserved for police and commercial contract pistols. I have often seen sellers offer a "low serial number luger" because it had three numerical digits. A shop in Bellevue Nebraska a few years back advertised a very low serial number luger that, on inspection of the contract range, turned out to be one of the last pistols of the contract.
