There was an article "The Mann Pistol" published by J. B. Wood on Gun Collector's Digest 5th Ed.

He saw serial number postfix "-20", "-21", and "-2" (probably 1920, 21, and 22). And highest serial number observed was 25897-2. So he estimated around 26,000 were made in three years, and the production stopped in 1922 due to Walther Model 9, which was introduced in 1921, was a superior vest pistol and it's hard for Mann to compete.
