Doubs,
Mauser picked up production right where DWM/BKIW left off. DWM was in the u letter suffix block, and Mauser started production in the v letter suffix block. This was virtually all commercial production, and when Mauser started production of the K Date in 1934 they did start with no letter suffix. K Date production was low and only went into the early a letter suffix block, where the G Date production picked up. Mauser continued production of the P08 by simply starting production in the letter suffix block where the previous year had left off rather than starting over at the beginning of the alphabet every year.
