The 1920- and 1921-dated DWM Lugers for the military and police were produced with 4-digit serial numbers and no, a and b suffixes as was the practice for Imperial military production. In addition, 1920-dated Lugers with n suffixes were also produced. Commercial Lugers produced in the same time period bore 5-digit serial numbers in the range 75000 - 92000 (Weimar Lugers, p. 15). While contemporaneous, the commercial and military/police production were separate.
