David, they were all 9mm and fall into the category of 1908 commercial and 1914 commercial. I believe the serial number ranges would be 50000 through 70000. The very rare 1913 commercials may also have been among the private purchase pistols. The only distinguishing markings can be found on some of the early BUG proof '08 commercials. They are found inside the magazine well on the bottum back. The marking is "Prv" which is thought to indicate privat, in English private.
