I was looking at a 1916 DWM military P08 today and was suprised to see the barrel carried a letter suffix, (8285 f), but the frame was only marked 8285.

I can only assume that some time in the past the frame had been buffed and the letter lost. To my untutored eye I didn't see any evidence of buffing, (reblued gun), so it must have been pretty well done ! Is that the most likely answer ?
