I must agree with Johnny P. that I never hear of a no suffix G date. The earliest that I owned was 7xxa and the latest in the mid e block. I also agree that the number of digits in a military PO8's serial number makes no difference to me. For example in a typical WW2 production year when they made 110,000 lugers, 11 of them would be serial number 1 with various suffixes. I once owned S/N 10,000e SVW/45 P38 (pictured in Buxton's Vol2). That I thought was interesting.
